Voyageur's Board of Trustees is composed

Voyageur raises funds from public agencies, private foundations

Frequently Asked
Questions |
|
| |
|
How do I know when your programs are broadcast? |
|
| |
|
Voyageur provides its programs to national and regional public
television stations for broadcast and distribution to schools
via statewide instructional television systems. We attempt
to gather premiere broadcast dates for posting on this website,
but check your local public television station for broadcast
dates and times. Voyageur's programs often repeat for several decades.

|
May I record Voyageur's
programs off air for personal or education use? |
| |
|
Yes. You may record any program off-air (broadcast or cable)
for personal use. Voyageur's programs are also provided
to public television stations with unlimited educational

and educational uses. Public education is our mission.

|
How does Voyageur select
its projects? |
|
| |
|
Voyageur's Board of Trustees selects projects through a
formal presentation process. Project Directors, who are
responsible for fundraising, project development and reporting,
present concepts to the Board of Trustees at quarterly meetings.
The merits of these proposals are reviewed using such criteria
as public need, our core mission, content and creativity,
funding feasibility, educational outreach, co-production
alliances and a clear path for public distribution.
|

|
|
| |
|
Does Voyageur accept
outside project proposals? |
|
| |
|
Voyageur does not solicit formal project proposals, but
our production team would be glad to listen to your ideas
for public media projects about science, history, art or
culture. We have accumulated plenty of experience along
the production road, and may be able to provide you with
some relevant advice. Voyageur's door is also open to organizations
that seek a vendor or co-production partner for their public
media projects.
