WCUW Receives TDI Creative Catalyst Grant
WCUW 91.3 FM, Worcester’s only non-profit non- commercial Community Radio station, is excited to announce that it is the recipient of a TDI Creative Catalyst Grant in the amount of $32,000.

In July 2023 MassDevelopment awarded $500,000 in grants to nine organizations, including WCUW Inc., for public-facing projects in Gateway Cities that support arts-and culture-based economic development and neighborhood revitalization, such as public art, arts programming and events, space activation, collaborative workspaces, mentoring and educational opportunities in the arts, and more.

The project, “Broadcasting Our Stories Brings Them to Life,” will bring the local Main South community of Worcester – businesses, nonprofits, and creatives (musicians, actors, artists, and other creatives), into the radio station and provide space as available for meetings, rehearsals, and performances.

“So many businesses are talking about how important it is to tell their stories of how their businesses are uplifting the community. We hope that the sharing of these entrepreneurial journeys can inspire a new generation of aspiring business leaders” said WCUW Board Chair Darren Pinto.

Troy Tyree, WCUW’s Executive Director agrees, “We’ve been the voice of Main South for 100 years. First as a radio station that was part of Clark University, and since 1973, as a non-profit non-commercial Community Radio station.”
