Channel G
Project Goal
$50,000.00

Description of the problem:


There are millions of great non-profit and NGO organizations in the United States and around the world.  These are organizations carrying out environmental, social, and health-related projects designed to implement solutions to some of the world's most challenging problems.  Unfortunately, although the positive impact of these projects is great, the number of people that know about this important work is very few.  This is primarily due to the fact that the stories of these organizations are rarely told in the mainstream media.  This lack of media exposure leads to 2 problems.  First, the people who might be very interested in supporting these projects, never get the opportunity because they have never heard about them.  Second, the people who might be very inspired by the positive stories of these projects, never receive that inspiration, as they have never been exposed to their story.  In short, the problem that Channel G works to solve is the lack of media exposure given to worthy, inspiring, and effective non-profit projects creating positive change in our world today.

Description of the project / solution:


Channel G is a media company that produces and distributes documentaries about the work of non-profit organizations working in the US and around the world. Our goal is to dramatically increase the general public’s opportunity to learn about environmental, social, and health related projects. As more people are introduced to this important work going on all over the planet, more people will get involved, supporting these projects in various ways, from volunteering to financial contribution. Channel G continually works to increase the number of organizations that it represents, while maximizing distribution of its films. Channel G presently distributes films to approximately 30 million homes via various television networks. In addition, Channel G’s award winning films appear in more and more film festivals each year, including eight distinguished festivals in ’06. In addition, Channel G administrates a comprehensive website where all the Channel G films can be viewed, users can blog, and each project is explained in detail. In ’07, Channel G will be producing a half hour television show that will air in 30 million homes throughout the USA. Channel G is the fast track to a brighter future, using mass media to educate and inspire and ever growing community of Channel G viewers.
