Could you be thinking of the "Center for Alternative Media"? That is a foundation he apparently set up a decade ago. Here's a couple of snippets:
Michael Moore: At Large
Patricia Brennan. The Washington Post. Jul 17, 1994. pg. y.07
With $1 million from the profits he earned from "Roger & Me," Moore established the Center for Alternative Media in New York, where he now lives. The center supports independent filmmakers and social action groups and has dispensed more than $250,000 in grants ranging from $1,000 to $20,000. Among the recipients were Flint's homeless shelters and the four families shown being evicted in the movie.

Dan Georgakas, Barbara Saltz. Cineaste.
New York: 1998. Vol. 23, Iss. 3; pg. 4, 4 pgs
Cineaste: Ah, there you go again, striking yet another righteous pose.Moore: All I know is that my critics don't come from the working class. We never get anyone who works in a factory ask why we are so simplistic, why we live in New York, why Disney distributes our film. The year we sold Roger & Me I was filling out an IRS form that showed I made twelve grand that year. We were determined that, if the film became successful and we got through the door, we were not going to shut the door behind us. That's why we set up a foundation and put half our money from Roger & Me into it. We've given out over half a million dollars in grants. We've helped fund seventy different organizations, from ACT-UP to The Black Filmmakers Foundation. We've put money into films such as The Panama Deception, A Perfect Candidate, and Just Another Girl on the IRT. This is who we are and where we come from. If that's posing, maybe more people should pose.

Thank you for this information.........I wish I could recall what it was that triggered an association with "Indy Media" but quite possibly, it WAS the Center for Alternative Media!!!
