The application process for Round 15 of the Program Venture Fund application is now closed. The deadline for the next round of PVF applications, Round 16, will be posted soon.
The most recent PVF program, A Village Away From Home traces the migration trend from the Mexican sierra to Seattle's fast–paced suburbs. The Seattle area has recently become a top destination for the indigenous Purepecha people from the rural hill–towns of central Mexico. Their native language, culture and traditional lifestyle are vanishing in parts of Mexico, but reappearing here. Reported by Liz Jones, edited by Rachel Anne Goodman.
The KUOW Program Venture Fund (PVF) provides special support for staff and independent producers to develop new programming focused on the Puget Sound region. Programs funded by the PVF can be a series of feature reports, documentaries, or a variety of short audio pieces. The PVF accepts project proposals from producers and reporters three times per year.
The KUOW Program Venture Fund was initiated in 2003 by a key gift from Paul and Laurie Ahern, long–time friends to KUOW. They encourage other KUOW members and friends to lend their financial support to this valuable and innovative program initiative. The more financial support provided to the Program Venture Fund, the more new voices and stories from our region can be heard.
Get involved in this exciting and important program initiative:
- If you are a KUOW member – make a special gift this year in addition to your regular annual membership and designate that gift to the KUOW Program Venture Fund.
- Become a new KUOW member – by designating your first gift to KUOW to the Program Venture Fund.
