We welcome applications from independent filmmakers, production companies, and documentary producers who have a strong story concept and a clear vision.

You don’t need to be a big name, passion and purpose are what we’re looking for.

No, you don’t need a finished documentary. We fund projects at various stages, from development to production.

However, having a clear synopsis, treatment, or a short sample reel will strengthen your application.

You can apply for any amount that aligns with your project’s needs.

We recommend being realistic and submitting a detailed budget breakdown to support your request.

We are interested in purpose-driven documentaries that tell impactful, authentic, and powerful stories.

Projects that focus on social issues, untold histories, culture, innovation, and human experiences are highly encouraged.

Yes, you retain creative ownership of your documentary.

However, we may discuss collaboration rights for marketing, promotion, and potential distribution as part of the funding agreement.

Funding will be disbursed based on agreed project milestones. Specific terms will be shared with you upon selection, and a funding agreement will be signed before any disbursement.

After submission, our team will review your project details. Shortlisted applicants may be contacted for additional materials, interviews, or further discussions about the project scope.

We review applications on a rolling basis, but early submissions are highly encouraged.

Funding slots are limited, and once they are filled, new applications may be considered for future rounds.
