Across the country, more than 300 community, Indigenous, and campus radio stations serve as trusted sources of local news, culture, and connection. In small towns, large cities, and remote communities, these stations ensure that local stories, languages, music, and public conversations continue to reach the people who live there.
The Community Broadcasters Foundation of Canada exists to support this essential part of Canada’s media landscape.
Through philanthropic partnerships and charitable giving, the Foundation raises funds to strengthen community broadcasters and the communities they serve. Working alongside the Community Radio Fund of Canada, these funds are directed to programs and initiatives that sustain and grow the sector’s impact.
Every dollar raised helps stations continue providing trusted local information, amplifying diverse voices, supporting emerging artists, preserving Indigenous languages, and training the next generation of journalists and storytellers.
This work builds on a sector already delivering thousands of hours of programming and training, powered by volunteers and deeply rooted in the communities they serve.
Community radio plays a quiet but vital role in Canadian democracy. It keeps communities informed during emergencies, reflects local culture, and provides a platform for voices that might otherwise go unheard.
In a country as vast and diverse as Canada, ensuring those voices continue to be heard matters. This is the work of the Community Broadcasters Foundation of Canada.
Because Canada is strongest when every community can be heard.
