Grants to this Grantee
for general operating support
Bay Area Video Coalition’s mission is to use media to give underserved communities greater participation in cultural and economic opportunities. It provides industry-standard media training to more than 3,000 students and professionals each year; production, post-production, and preservation services; workforce development programs for low-income youth; and an annual ten-day intensive to help artists develop socially relevant media applications. The Coalition made a foray into public media in 2009 when it assumed operations of San Francisco’s cable access television station. With new leadership (Marc Vogl, former Hewlett Foundation program officer), the organization is poised to renew its strategic focus.
