Budget and funds

Ron and I are creating the documentary without any outside funding. Kansas State University pays our salaries, and we both have small operating funds as part of our Extension positions. The School of Family Studies and Human Services is also providing us with a graduate research assistant. I will introduce that person in a later entry.

Obtaining a nationally prominent host/narrator and gaining access to public or commercial stations will require us to find financial support. We will also need someone to underwrite the creation of the set we will need for our host. The set alone could amount to a considerable cost.

Not having funding outside of the university for the creation of the program allows us to remain completely independent of any outside influence. If anyone has any suggestions for the funding we will need later in the program cycle, let me know or, better yet, post a comment here if you wish.

Do you recall the campaign a few years ago to raise money for the Depot? The campaign asked everyone in Manhattan to donate $3.

You can do something similar to this or ask people to sponsor a National Guard Member by donating in their name.
