Earth.fm is non-profit, free repository of pure, immersive natural soundscapes and a fundraising platform for local, grassroots charities that support the restoration of our natural world.

About the Grant

Earth.fm Grants will support people in the Global South to become professional field recordists. The participants will get field recording gear, training and coaching sessions with our professional field recordists, and some funds to cover field trip expenses.

We are excited to announce that our Earth.fm Global South Field Recording Grant has received an overwhelming response, with over 30 applicants! Our mission is to empower and support aspiring field recordists and it’s heartening to see the enthusiasm and passion for capturing the sounds of nature. We are working hard to ensure that this grant not only provides equipment but also creates a community of like-minded individuals who can share their experiences and knowledge.

We help to acquire field recording gear or cover field trip expenses, based on the provided specific needs of each applicant. For the first round of Earth.fm Grants each participant can get up to $1.000+.

The program itself is valued at over $3,000 per participant, including the preparation, organization, training costs, provided audio gear, and field trip expenses. The total amount of funds available is $5,000.
