Grantmaking Goals
ARDC makes grants to programs and organizations that help advance its mission and vision to create:
A thriving global community of learners, experimenters, and contributors advancing freedom with open source communication and information technology.
ARDC’s strategic approach to achieving this vision rests on three main goals:
Goal | Description |
|---|---|
📚 Promoting learning | Getting more people learning about amateur radio (AR) and digital communications (DC). |
🔬 Promoting experimenting | Getting more people experimenting, innovating and developing technology in the context of AR and DC. |
⚙️ Promoting doing | Getting more people using new technology productively on more (and newer) bands, modes and technologies, within the context of AR and DC. |
Grant opportunities and other program activities are evaluated on their ability to meet these objectives and, overall, to help bring ARDC’s vision to life.
