California Documentary Project offers grants for film, radio and new media

“The California Documentary Project (CDP) is a competitive grant program of the California Council for the Humanities (CCH). CDP supports the research and development, production, and public engagement stages of film, radio, and new media projects that document the California experience and explore issues of significance to Californians. Projects must approach subject matter from a humanities perspective; enhance our understanding of California and its cultures, peoples and histories; and be suitable for California and national audiences. The intent of the CDP grant program is to increase access to, understanding of, and awareness of the public humanities through the support of humanities-based documentary media productions. ”
