July 1, 2022 – Effective today, the MCTV Network is pleased to announce that grants are now available to cover fees associated with MCTV access membership, online services, and workshops thanks to a gracious grant from local philanthropist Mary Currie. Funds will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis until July 1, 2023 or until funds run out.
Offered as a Diversity & Inclusion Grant, these funds aim to create a robust and diverse community media landscape in Midland. Grant dollars can be used to cover the cost of media creator workshops; summer camp registration fees; access memberships; and digital services, including audio podcasts and YouTube videos for all members of the Midland community. Students, multicultural groups, and non-profit organizations are strongly encouraged to apply.
To apply for these funds, members must:
