support our work
As a nonprofit organization, we rely on the generosity of donors, members, and the community to support our mission. For nearly 30 years, we've been presenting the best new films from around the world, providing filmmaker talkbacks and community conversations, supporting early career filmmakers, and expanding arts access with free programs and discounted tickets to underserved communities.
Everything we do is intentionally designed to assure kids that they matter, that their point of view is valid, and that their differences are celebrated. Our programs encourage curiosity and dialogue across cultures and viewpoints—dialogue that will turn our children into global citizens who see the strength in our differences and build unity through compassion. Your support will help ensure our FilmEd Field Trips, national touring program, and annual Festival continue to reach as many growing minds as possible.
