Each of the nonprofits that fund and support public TV content by and for diverse communities will receive an additional $500,000.
The projects are among 11 receiving support from LPB’s 2017 Public Media Content Fund.
Projects range from a web series of three-minute videos to several 90-minute documentary films.
The New Deciders and Willie Velasquez: Empowering the People are set to air this fall.
The 19 grants totaling almost $2.5 million were selected from nearly 500 proposals.
Media projects backed during LPB’s latest grant round include Children of Giant, Hector Galan’s documentary exploring how production of the epic feature film Giant affected race relations in Marfa, Texas.
