Grant+Proposal

Our Grant Proposal Outline

Circle TV Productions is requesting $50,000 for necessities for our production company in which we provide services to others through entertainment using the new technology of today. This cost will include equipment and other necessities to fund our innovative productions.

Circle TV Productions is a production company where young, dedicated, and imaginative students collaboratively work together to provide entertainment to teenagers today. To reach out to our audience, we use various sources of technology such as YouTube, MySpace, WEB 2.0, and blogs that we have created individually. Circle TV theme is: "Changing the shape of television", which is the mission we are trying to accomplish. In today's society, TV is not meant for teenagers, so what we do is take these programs and add our own twists to it. By adding our own flair, we are using our creative ideas and teens are able to live vicariously through the productions we create. The people in our company are very dedicated and have the willingness to put in the effort to entertain others.

Our demographic is towards young, African-American people from the ages of 13-24. In today's society, African-American teenagers do not have programs for them to watch. This puts them at the option of hanging out on the streets, which leads to gangs, violence, and DEATH. We are trying to give them something that they can enjoy with their peers that is not merely based on sex, guns, money, girls and other negative things. Instead, we want to give them something that they can laugh at enjoy with the family and possibly, want to do something in that field later on in their life. These teens who end up on the streets are the ones who don't have positive influences and live in a low income household. By using them as a demographic, it will change them for the better because they will have something to watch and enjoy themselves. Circle TV wants to create different ideas that have our target audience coming back for more each day. Hopefully this will result in less crime and violence and maybe making a better world to live in.

The productions that we are trying to put together but are unable to do so at this time due to low funding is; parodies known as spoofing, fashion shows, picture day, and other video activities such as Reality Shows and such. We have collectively come up with these ideas as projects because these are things that teens today, enjoy to watch as entertainment. Teens today are so concerned with fashion and what the latest shows are, by creating these things it will give them an opportunity to watch something that is created by their own peers. Without proper equipment, any at that, we will not be able to take these ideas and make them into a creation of our own. The equipment that is needed is tripods, cameras, camcorders, microphones, picture paper, laptop, printer, tote bags, hard drive, ink, and trucking. Without these necessary things for our company, we are unable to do these projects. Our company is working towards starting these productions but the things that we want to do, we don't have the proper equipment.

By choosing CircleTV Productions, you will not regret your decision. We are young, motivated, dedicated African Americans teenagers who just want a chance to make a difference in our community. Moreover, we want to display our talents that we have. We have the opportunity to do so, but without funding, we are not able to move forward. Our company is created by us for our peers and by doing the honor of selecting our company to fund, you will not regret your decision. CircleTV promises to keep you, the donator, on track with our company and the progresses it makes along the way. Just by giving us a chance to prove ourselves in our demanding society will be greatly appreciated.
