Funding Deadlines

The Media Fund is PIC’s standing funding initiative, which provides funds for single non-fiction programs. This application deadline is for R&D Funding applications only. Projects applying to Media Fund must be intended for national public television broadcast and therefore must be able to enter into a license agreement – this is not a grant. 

Native Hawaiian artists active in the fields of dance, music, traditional and visual arts are invited to apply for a new fellowship from the Native Arts and Cultures Foundation (NACF) by Jan. 15. The fellowship awards include support ranging up to $20,000 per artist and artists who apply need to be able to supply documentation of Native Hawaiian ancestry.

The ITVS Open Call funding initiative provides completion funds for single nonfiction public television programs on any subject, and from any viewpoint. Projects must have begun production as evidenced by a work-in-progress video. The deadline for receiving all application materials is January 30th, 2015.

In addition, The Kering Foundationhas joined the fund to offer the Spotlighting Women Documentary Award.  Eligible films for the Gucci Fund and the Spotlighting Women Documentary Award challenge the status quo not just as it pertains to subject matter, but also in form. Funded films will be driven by thoughtful and in-depth storytelling, bolstered by a compelling visual approach. We are seeking feature-length documentaries that are in advanced development, production or post-production with the intended premiere exhibition date after June 2014.
