The County of San Diego Cable & Telecommunications Review Commission administers the Community Partnership for Local Government Programming Video Grant Program, an annual program awarding up to $10,000 to nonprofit organizations willing to partner with a County department or agency to produce video programs for local government television. The Commission will award up to five grants in each annual cycle.
The Commission is looking for innovative video projects that inform and educate San Diegans about issues affecting our community. The Commission is interested in proposals for programs that deal with issues of interest to the San Diego County Board of Supervisors. The Commission especially encourages proposals for programs that highlight one or more of three County Strategic Initiatives: Children, Environment, and Safe and Livable Communities. The Commission also seeks to fund projects that reflect the cultural diversity of San Diego County .
Programs that receive funding may be aired on the County Television Network (CTN). Grant-funded videos presently running on CTN focus on a wide variety of issues, including local history, a program for developmentally-disabled artists, how to choose quality child care, youth recreation programs geared toward reducing juvenile crime, and responsible pet ownership.
Application packets for each cycle become available annually in September for a mid-November deadline. Successful applicants receive their awards beginning in March of the following year.
Anyone who is interested in the program may download the most recent application packet below, or contact Jacqueline Collins for more information at Jacquelyn.Collins@sdcounty.ca.gov or (619) 595-4680.
