  • Developing Radio Partners is a US-based non-profit media development organization that works with people running community based radio stations in developing countries. We provide them with the skills, content and methodologies they need to bring reliable information services on development topics to their listeners. Developing Radio Partners is dedicated to bringing information on the most important topics in development - population, climate change, health and governance - to those who are hardest to reach, using the most effective media: local radio, text messaging and various social media platforms. Developing Radio Partners, (DRP), is a solutions-oriented organization committed to building vibrant, participatory communities internationally, through the development of financially and editorially independent media services with a focus on community radio. Country by country, we build the capacity of individual radio stations, associations and programming networks by working alongside station managers, their staff and their communities to achieve local development goals that enrich people's lives. Following initial workshops, DRP provides stations with: - Weekly program e-bulletins (fact sheets) that help stations develop local, accurate, timely and useful content. - Professional good practices, helping stations produce quality content and run sustainably. - Useful technologies, such as SMS and social media platforms, aiding stations in communicating with their listeners. - Scientifically-proven interventions communities can undertake in response to environmental degradation and climate change. - Training & support for Magazine-format radio journalism, as well as podcast training and development. - Support for community events sponsored by area radio stations. - The use of various social media platforms to complement radio programs and announcements.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
