Are organizational projects funded at specific stages of production? What is the time frame within which the funds must be used?
Our grants generally cover a one-year period. Funding production of specific videos or films is out of our guidelines, other than in exceptional circumstances. For example, in the summer of 1999 we funded eight New York City organizations, two of which were video projects, to produce media products that would explore teenagers’ experiences with death. In 2000, we funded In the Mix, the teen series shown on PBS stations, to extend this work and to produce something for a national audience.
