The KUOW Program Venture Fund (PVF) provides special support for staff and independent producers to develop new programming focused on the Puget Sound region.

Programs funded by the PVF can be a series of feature reports, documentaries, or a variety of short audio pieces. The PVF accepts project proposals from producers and reporters three times per year.

The application process for Round 15 of the Program Venture Fund application is now closed. The deadline for the next round of PVF applications, Round 16, will be posted soon.

The KUOW Program Venture Fund was initiated in 2003 by a key gift from Paul and Laurie Ahern, long–time friends to KUOW. They encourage other KUOW members and friends to lend their financial support to this valuable and innovative program initiative.
