National Federation of Community Broadcasters

8 Bridges collaborated with consultant Sharon Rodning Bash to provide a developmental evaluation for NFCB’s CPB-funded capacity building program for rural and tribal community radio stations, the Community Counts Initiative. Our final report on the Community Counts Initiative’s first cohort is available on the NFCB website. A second cohort of stations launched in fall 2020 and we are getting to know them. In 2021 we also supported NFCB’s strategic planning process.
