How it works
Philanthropic Grantmakers, Charities and Documentary Filmmakers care about the same community-minded themes and issues. These shared interests can inspire partnerships that can be immensely powerful. Working together, these groups can achieve their mutual goals and effect long lasting change.
The Foundation does not make or commission films. The Foundation manages and receives grants from the public, and passes these grants onto documentary filmmakers. The Foundation provides information and resources to enable the philanthropic, charitable and documentary film worlds to collaborate for the mutual benefit of all. The Foundation facilitates the use of philanthropic donations to fund a wide range of documentary films.
