Rolling deadline

The Media Development Loan Fund (MDLF) has launched a Green Loan Fund to help independent media to improve their environmental performance. In particular, the Fund will provide below-market-rate financing to enable media businesses to purchase equipment or implement processes that will:

• reduce the company’s carbon footprint
• improve energy efficiency
• optimise the usage and recycling of natural resources
• promote the sourcing of products from sustainable sources
• improve recycling, storage, collection, and treatment of dangerous and toxic waste

The launch of the Green Media Fund is part of MDLF’s programme to reduce its own and independent media’s environmental footprints.

An organisation interested in financial support should fill out an inquiry form. MDLF evaluates whether the organisation meets the basic criteria for becoming an applicant. It then provides further instructions and asks for more details.
