Deadline: 10/01/2022

Details:
The Community-Engaged Media Grant will be a cohort-based program, in which all grantees will participate in several virtual gatherings throughout the year and engage in a support and learning network with other grantees doing community-engaged media work in Alaska. Project teams will also have the opportunity to pair with a “thought partner,” a media-maker working in the community-engaged media space. “Thought partners” are expected to meet with grantees three to four times over the course of the project period.
Funding Information
The project period for the grant is November 1, 2022 to October 31, 2023.
Eligibility Criteria
- Proposals must be submitted as a community stakeholder/media organization team.
- The community stakeholder partner may be a community-based organization or individual. Organizations do not need to have a formal legal status. Examples of individual partners could include someone well-connected in their community, someone doing meaningful work in their community, and/or a community-based media maker (for example: podcasters, writers, or filmmakers).
- The media organization partner should be a 501(c)(3) organization involved in journalism or media-making in Alaska. The media organization partner will preferably have experience managing federal or state funding. The media organization partner is expected to serve as the project’s “Point of Contact” – meaning they will accept fiscal responsibility for the project and manage grant reporting and record-keeping requirements. Correspondence and communication with the Forum normally coordinates through the Point of Contact.
- While they have a preference for proposals from pre-existing partnerships (meaning, partners have already collaborated on at least one project in the past), they will consider proposals from both existing and new partnership teams. While partners may apply to fund an ongoing project, they do not require or ask for a specific project plan or budget.
