Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Bay Area Video Coalition, "BAVC Media", inspires social change by enabling the sharing of diverse stories through art, education and technology.

Activities or mission (Part I)

BAVC Media is a California Not-for-profit corporation with the primary purpose of providing a resource center for educational and artistic work in the video and multimedia.

  • Preservation & Technology: Hundreds of hours of rare and unique audio and video material preserved; free and open source software designed for the audio/visual archiving community; development of an educational platform to assist with prioritizing audio/visual collections; in-depth collection assessments preformed for organizations in need. In keeping with general trajectory of the department, Fee-for-service work was balanced by a range of exciting grant-funded endeavors. BAVC preservation was supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities, the National Endowment for the Arts (The Preservation Access Program). Throughout the year, staff members participated in numerous conferences and events including the American Moving Image Archivists (AMIA), American Library Association (ALA), the American Institute for Conservation of Historic & Artistic Works (AIC), extending the departments reputation for educational leadership and advocacy in the field. Just as BAVC as an organization has transcended its video origins, BAVCs Preservation department has adapted to the needs of the digital world while staying true to its core mission: To democratize access to tools of media making and media preserving.

    Expenses $1,669,148 · Grants $2,500 · Revenue $176,821

  • Training & Resources: BAVCs training programs provide industry-recognized certifications in video, digital audio, web design and multimedia training to more than 2,000 students per year. BAVC offers free or subsidized training to over 250 individuals per year. BAVC also offers career counseling, soft-skill development workshops and job and internship placement services. For over 40 years, BAVC, has trained a diverse mix of artists, experienced media professionals, educators, low-income adults, nonprofit and community based organizations and industry partners in various multimedia technologies. BAVC is also a training partner for the City of San Franciscos TechSF Apprenticeship Initiative.

    Expenses $1,171,216 · Grants $545,356 · Revenue $45,675

  • Youth & Emerging Media Maker Program: BAVCs Youth and Emerging Media Maker (YEMM) programs provide comprehensive free and fee-for-service year-long digital media storytelling training to over a hundred Bay Area Youth per year. BAVCs Next Gen program includes the digital pathway program, which provides a comprehensive model of industry-standard digital medial youth training and artistic development, offering training in video and audio production and creative open source software programming in a supportive, artist-led environment, aiming to diversify the pool of skilled artist, digital media producers and innovators in the field. The program bridges a pathway to higher education and the workforce for youth facing multiple barriers to education and employment. Over the last several years, BAVCs youth programs have offered opportunities for creative expression, self-discovery and leadership in over 130 youth. Next Generation programs also include professional development programs for educators, including the Adobe Youth Voices program, providing training and support to educators to help them integrate digital media into their classrooms. After a merger with Reel Stories in 2021, BAVC continued expanding its youth programming in free and fee-for-service after school classes and summer camps in East Bay and for youth who identify as female or nonbinary.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
