Award-winning radio producer Rachel Goodman takes a look at the housing crisis on California's Central Coast in her radio documentary "Boomtown Chronicles," funded by the Council under the California Documentary Project. Your donation helps us support project like this. |
Given the current economic crises in California, wouldn’t you like to see a well-researched documentary film that points towards some solutions? Or what about an informative radio series about fixing the state’s education system? Or a lively forum on organic farming and genetically modified crops?
During the past year, the Council received a record number of requests for support. But we could only help a handful of projects. That’s where you come in. Your contribution will help important projects take place — projects that offer new ideas and fresh perspectives on a range of issues and topics. Projects that challenge us to think in new ways about the world we live in — and that inspire us to work for a better future.
Suggested gift amounts: $75.00, $50.00, $25.00.
YES, I want to support projects that offer new ideas and fresh perspectives and that inspire Californians to work for a better future.
Support from individuals is vital to our success.
