What it reported doing in 2024
FC Public Media equips individuals and non-profit organizations to create video and audio productions that address our communitys needs for news, information, and entertainment. Through our programming and resources, we build community cohesion and expand digital equity.FC Public Media is a place to learn, collaborate and create. We empower adults and teens, regardless of ability to pay, age, education, race, gender, sexual orientation, or physical ability, to be involved in video and podcast production. FC Public Media operates as the hub for disseminating these local shows.During the past fiscal year, FCPM continued to build community cohesion by providing free, local programming 24/7 to area residents and beyond. We provided 78 first run shows, several of them locally produced. All of our programming is available on our cable stations, our website, and on Roku and Apple TV. We helped build digital equity by making our library of state-of-the-art equipment and our studios available to numerous local producers to create videos and podcasts.A new podcast recording system was purchased and installed in our temporary station and saw immediate usage from our members. Three, multi-episode podcasts were started, which can be found on our website. One of those podcasts, Larimer County Snapshot News is also available in video and is shown on our TV channels and other video platforms.Our website was updated and improved by our volunteers. One of the new features allows us to accept payment directly through the website for membership dues and class fees.Volunteers recorded over 50 sessions at FoCo Comic Con and Founded in FoCo, as well as a community event, An Evening with Camille Dungy, sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Larimer County. The latter program was shown on our platforms. Non-profits from around the county took advantage of our free Community Bulletin Board, which runs on our website and in between shows on our cable stations, to advertise their upcoming events. The bulletin board itself was upgraded to include current weather, local headlines, and a livestream from a local radio station. Board members expanded their networking systems and built new partnerships with Rocky Mountain PBS, the CSU Honors Program, CSU Deliberative Journalism classes, Deliberative Journalism Project of Northern Colorado, Women in Filmmaking in Colorado, Northern Colorado Filmmakers, and others.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
