🎥 Calling all Santa Barbara County nonprofits! Applications are now open for the next round of 805 Focus, TV Santa Barbara's series dedicated to sharing the stories of the organizations that make our community stronger.

Each year, we select 30 local nonprofits to receive a professionally produced 20-minute episode, filmed in our studio with our production team, TVSB pros. Your episode airs on Channels 17 & 71 and streams across our digital platforms for two full years, plus you get a finished video to use for fundraising, donor outreach, and more.

We underwrite half the cost of every production because we believe every nonprofit deserves access to professional media, not just the ones who can afford it.

Spots are limited and filling on a rolling basis, so if your organization has a story worth telling, don't wait to apply. 💛
