The APTF's sole purpose is to provide funding support for APT; therefore, it fully embraces the stated mission of APT as follows: "APT is committed to enrich the lives of Alabama citizens by providing essential educational services with the highest quality direct instructional content through digital streaming; by acting as an indispensable resource of Alabama's Storyteller; by promoting Alabama to the world as a unique community postured for business and growth; by working closely with Homeland Security and state agencies to provide a statewide network to disseminate information effectively in times of disaster; by bringing the very best in the world of music, theater, dance and the arts to enrich and inspire the lives of the people of our state; and by offering programming that educates the citizenry, giving them the means and the desire to reach their highest potential through the development of a strong work ethic bonded to honesty and integrity."
The APT Foundation (APTF) is a nonprofit corporation under the Alabama Nonprofit Corporation Act. It was formed solely as a supporting organization for the benefit of and to provide financial support for the Alabama Educational Television Commission (AETC) who's nine public television stations and one FM public radio station are licensed to the State of Alabama by the Federal Communications Commission. The funds raised by the APTF supplement the budget of the AETC through its public foundation, the Alabama Educational Television Foundation Authority (AETFA). Together, the AETC and the AETFA operate and do business as Alabama Public Television under the brand name of APT which is widely recognized throughout the state as well as nationally.
The APTF's primary service is to raise funds to provide an annual operating grant to APT. The APTF does this by providing an operating grant to APT after paying for all fundraising expenses and its allocated share of overhead expenses.
APT leases the majority of its content for television from the Public Broadcast System (PBS) and is a member affiliate of this distributor. APT also leases a smaller amount of its content needs from various other distributors. The APTF assisted directly with the costs of purchasing and promoting these programs.
