MEMBER PRODUCTION GRANT

This Member Production Grant is designed to aid DOM member producers in the production of their series programming, or to provide additional support to nonprofits wanting to complete a particular project. This grant should serve as both an extension of our education program by developing a high-quality production for those producers needing to develop additional skill sets, and to assist those producers most in need of financial and personnel assistance.

• Grants are limited to 1 per year per organizational or individual membership.
• A total of 3 grants are awarded per year.
• Maximum award is $500 (rates determined by our member production service rates) and services may be provided by staff, volunteers and/or interns.
