Native Youth Media Project Funding Opportunity
Applications Open Year Round
Vision Maker Media (VMM), the premier source of media by and about Native Americans since 1976, is funding story development and media production training for Native young people to ensure that their stories are prominent on all media platforms in the future.
Funding support of up to $25,000 is now available for independent producers or Native youth organizations who are interested in training Native youth in short-format media story development and production.
VMM’s call for the Native Youth Media Project includes experienced independent producers or Native youth organizations working with Native youth ages 15-21. The intended goal is for Native youth to produce a media piece focused on topics such as health & wellness, science, climate & environment, education, art, culture, history, language, and empowerment. Finished projects will then be shared in a local community setting and the screening format will be determined by the independent producer or Native youth organization.
