Funding for film, audio, and interactive documentaries
Submission deadline: November 4, 2024
CDP Grant Guidelines & FAQ: calhum.org/gra...
California? It’s complicated, almost 40 million people and 40 million stories. California Documentary Project (CDP) grants support nonfiction film, audio, and interactive media productions that explore California in all its complexity.
Funding is available in two categories:
• Research and Development Grants up to $15,000
• Production Grants up to $50,000
We invite applications for the 2024 round of CDP grants in support of film, audio, or digital media projects that document California subjects and issues, have the potential to bring essential California stories to national audiences, and that use the humanities to provide context, depth, and perspective. California residency is not required to apply.
We are particularly interested in supporting stories and projects from communities, regions, and individuals whose voices and perspectives have traditionally been excluded from the broader California narrative. As we center equity in the work of California Humanities, we encourage stories that focus on and highlight Indigenous and Native American experiences in California.
