Committee asks NCTV to explain two grant requests totaling roughly $178,000
Summary
NCTV submitted two applications — ACK Ambassadors ($78,000) and a separate substance‑misuse production request (~$100,000). The committee asked NCTV to present both proposals and provide more outcome and distribution metrics before deliberations.
Committee members reviewed two applications from the island’s media station (packet labels: NCTV/ACK Ambassadors). One request is for $78,000 to support ACK Ambassadors, a youth outreach and media production program; a separate packet item requests roughly $100,000 for a substance‑misuse video/toolkit production.
Members said NCTV has run similar pilot work in prior years and that the organization captures analytics and engages schools; they asked for more granular outcome data (view counts, distribution, use in schools) and for specific examples of prior outputs. Jericho Maley noted the applications build on previous youth behavioral health work and that the station’s materials reference results‑based accountability measures but lacked some of the detailed metrics the committee would like to see at interview.
The committee invited NCTV to present both applications during the interview cycle and to include information about expected outcomes, audience reach and how materials will be used or pushed beyond an on‑demand library. Committee members said the combined ask (about $178,000 across two funding streams) will factor into deliberations about how much to fund a single organization across programs.
