Support Your Home for Community Media

Here at the Media Factory, we aim to challenge the division and polarization often emphasized by today’s mainstream media. We do this by fostering a space that is warm and welcoming to our local community. The Media Factory strives to be your home for civil discourse, creativity, vital information, and connection. 

And all of this is powered by you – our community.  You attend workshops,  create videos, broadcast radio shows, interview your neighbors, attend our events, watch our channels, and donate to support our free programs. Not to put too fine a point on it, but YOU power the factory.

“It means a lot to have a community-based center to have studio space to film… and a space to loan out gear so I can go out on my own to make the films and short documentaries I need to, since I don’t have (my own equipment).”
- Austen Sprake, Community Producer and Filmmaker

Help us continue to provide a home base for our local media producers by making a tax-deductible donation to the Media Factory.

“It’s really fun to be able to do something that’s helpful for kids my age that are trying to find their own space in the LGBTQ+ community.”
 -  DJ Meez, host of WBTV-LP’s Queer People Know Things

Each voice is an invaluable reflection of our regional interests, shared values, and can offer opportunities to explore our differences.  Your donation goes a long way to help subsidize our radio station, educational programming, special programs like Crowdsourced VT, and our paid 360º Internship for burgeoning local content creators.

Donate

Thank you so much for your support of the Media Factory and for helping to provide this space to keep our community connected.

Sincerely, 

Jess Wilson and Seth Mobley, Co-Directors
