The

National
Video Resources (NVR) is a national not-for-profit
organization dedicated to increasing the distribution of
independently produced media — film, video and other motion
media.
NVR
designs and implements projects that enable individuals to
access independent media more readily, and that enable public
organizations such as libraries, educational institutions and
other non-profits to acquire and use these materials. NVR also manages the
Program for Media Artists (formerly the Rockefeller Media Arts
Fellowships) and other programs that benefit makers, and it
commissions and publishes research on issues of concern to the
field.

in size, staff and number of projects for more than 14
years. Today it
has an annual budget of approximately $2 million and a staff
of 8 full-time and 2 part-time employees. It receives funding
from foundation and government (city, state and federal)
sources. Current
and past funders include such organizations as the
Rockefeller, Ford, and MacArthur Foundations, the National
Endowment for the Humanities, and the National Science
Foundation. NVR
has built significant relationships with the American Library
Association, Grantmakers in Film and Electronic Media and with
public libraries and academic institutions throughout the
country. It has a
distinguished Board of Trustees and identifies prominent
advisors for each of its projects.
Further

and other investors and policy makers — and to the end
users. The
Executive Director is responsible, with the Board of Trustees,
for developing the organization’s policies, goals, and
priorities.
