The Media Development and Diversity Agency (MDDA) will this week host the first of two virtual workshops to help educate and inform potential and existing MDDA Grant Funding applicants about the compliance requirements for the 2024/24 grant funding cycle. This follows a recent call made by the MDDA encouraging community media projects with valid class broadcast service licences, including radio, TV, and community print publications, as well as small commercial print to apply for the 2024/25 Grant Funding.
The application window officially opened on 31 May 2024 and will close on 28 June 2024 and community media projects are encouraged to apply. The MDDA aims to encourage media ownership, access, and control of media particularly by historically disadvantaged communities and diminished indigenous languages and cultural groups.
For print and digital publications, this year’s grant funding application call is focusing on the following provinces:
* Gauteng
* KwaZulu Natal
* Limpopo
* Free State
* Western Cape
