Braidwood Community Radio’s broadcast studio is located on the first floor at 141 Wallace Street, Braidwood, and the station obtains the funds it needs to operate through donations from individuals and businesses; individuals and businesses becoming members; and businesses becoming sponsors. The station is eligible to apply for grants to purchase equipment, but not to pay day-to-day running costs such as electricity, rent, licence fees, copyright fees, insurances etc. The funds for the day-to-day operating costs come from memberships and sponsorships which are so important to the continuing operation of the station. Braidwood Community Radio assists local community groups whenever it is able to, and provided its first donation to Braidwood Junior Soccer in 2004. Over the years Braidwood Community Radio has provided funds to the Braidwood Central School to assist with the purchase of Safety Play Equipment for the Primary School children, and towards the new school bus, and to Braidwood Scouts and Braidwood SES. It is also an annual sponsor of the Bendigo Bank Braidwood Lions Billy Cart Derby, and The Braidwood Quilt Event.
