GRANTORS AND FUNDERS
Did you know that over a third of NFFTY’s annual operating budget comes from grants? NFFTY is a program of SIFF, a 501(c)3 nonprofit. We’re proud to partner with local, state, and federal agencies — as well as corporate and private foundations, and donor advised funds — to increase access and opportunity for emerging filmmakers from underrepresented communities.
Funders who are interested in partnering with NFFTY, including programs to provide paid career development opportunities and mentorship to youth, can contact our Managing Director at ryan.saunders@siff.net.
