Public Radio Capital works directly with public radio organizations and their board members/ licensees to identify and secure financing options for public radio service and capital expansion.

To support the sustainable growth of your organization, we structure affordable financing solutions from a variety of sources: tax-exempt bonds, conventional loans, foundational support, donor loans and grants, seller financing, and our own Public Radio Fund.

PRC has developed close working relationships with many of the nation’s leading financial institutions, educating them on the value of public radio investments. Our experienced staff members can assist you in presenting the viability of your expansion plans to stakeholders and financial institutions. Since our founding in 2001, we have represented clients in acquisition and financing transactions valued at more than $270 million. Let us know how we could be of service to your organization.
