Amateur Radio Digital Communications(ARDC): Grants Programme
All Information
ARDC funds nonprofit organisations and educational or research institutions working to expand access to amateur radio and digital communications technology. Projects may focus on technology development, communications infrastructure, educational programmes, open-source tools, or research and development. Nigerian organisations and universities may qualify as international equivalents of eligible nonprofit institutions, provided their proposals align with ARDC’s mission. Funded work must be made freely accessible to the public, so applicants should be prepared to share relevant technology, documentation, software, or other project outputs openly.
