Transmission Project now accepting proposals

[Belinda]

Apply now for capacity building support from the Transmission Project.
Feedback provided for early applicants; final deadline March 15, 2010.

The Transmission Project amplifies the power of public media and
technology. We place Digital Arts Service Corps members in support of
capacity-building projects for organizations working to bring
individuals and communities out of poverty through developing
opportunities and resources necessary to contribute and participate
fully in our economy and democracy.

We consider Public Media and Technology to include organizations and
projects that use media and technologies to inform, educate, and
encourage communities to act upon issues important to them. This broad
definition includes broadcast media and technology (e.g. pubcasters,
PEG, CTCs, etc.) and others working to encourage broadband adoption,
increase community storytelling, facilitate institutional transparency
or engage their community through innovative means.

Interested organizations are invited to submit proposals for capacity
building projects. If accepted, the organization and the Transmission
Project work together to recruit a Digital Arts Service Corps member
to work with the organization for one year. With a successful
placement, the Transmission Project provides approximately $20,000 for
the member's living expenses, relocation and professional development,
in addition to other non-cash support. The partnering organization
contributes $4,000 and budgets $1,000 for the member to attend one
national conference during their year of service and additional funds
for living assistance.
