Mt. Hood Cable Regulatory Commission
Overview
Grant for community media (must utilize INET) projects. Range is $3,500 to $280,000. Requires 50% matching funds.
Proposal
Free Geek creates industry partnership to provide matching funds for education program expansion. Funding for:
- Finish classroom - construction, acoustics, lighting ($7,500).
- Complete sound system installation ($4,000).
- Purchase DV camera(s) for broadcast quality production ($3,000 - $5,500).
- Sublimental hardware for video editing system (Cinelerra) ($1,000)
- ideally, we would have the capability of having 2-5 edit stations working at once, this would likely increase the editing station budget to $5,000.--Revphil 10:36, 6 Jan 2006 (PST)
