WHY DO I HAVE TO WAIT SO LONG TO HEAR YOUR DECISION ON FUNDING MY PROJECT?
As mentioned earlier, the Foundation waits until it accumulates fifty, or so,
proposals before convening a panel. This can take up to five months. The
Foundation's Directors also need time to approve funding recommendations from
the New York City Film and Video panel. This could add another month to the
process. You will be notified of our decision about two weeks after Jerome
Directors approve the New York panel's recommendations.
IS IT OK TO APPLY WITH A CO-APPLICANT?
Yes. However, both must share the responsibility of directing the project. If
he/she has some other responsibility, that exclusively involves producing,
writing, crewing, or acting in the work, the Foundation will not recognize
him/her as a co-applicant.
DOES THIS PROGRAM FUND ORGANIZATIONAL, COMMERCIAL, EDUCATIONAL OR INDUSTRIAL
WORK?
No. This program's focus is strictly on independent media arts, not work for
hire, promotion, and/or strictly educational purposes.
