Visionaries - Changing the World One Story at a Time

The Visionaries is pleased to announce a remarkable new partnership with the Starfish TV Network

The Visionaries, in association with Starfish Television, is seeking proposals from non-profit organizations whose philanthropic mission would be measurably advanced by the creation and broadcast of television programming.

Specifically, we are looking to forge a small number of non-profit, co-production partnerships in which the producer, subject, and broadcaster are all nonprofit organizations sharing resources to create a new genre of television we call Mission Driven Media.

Toward this endeavor, the Starfish Television Network is securing contributions and in-kind commitments to fund 50% of the cost of production and broadcast of these new television programs into millions of American homes.

We have invited 100 non-profit organizations to participate in the first series of productions. No more than four projects will be selected to begin production in January of 2008 with broadcastlater in the year.

We are interested in two types of programming proposals:

• The first is the One-Hour Documentary that gives viewers wide-ranging insight into an important social issue.

• The second is the Six-Part Mini-Series. These will be new programs built around a central theme such as health care, woman's issues, international development, housing or the environment. In the future, the Six-Part Mini-Series could be expanded into a full-length recurring series thereby creating the opportunity for a non-profit organization to build a significant audience over time.

Please review the Frequently Asked Questions page, we think it will answer most of your questions, but feel free to contact the Visionaries to brainstorm on ideas or to answer any additional question you may have.
