Why make grants to documentaries?
Documentary filmmakers are generally interested in the same areas of focus as foundations such as; education, the arts, health and welfare, environment, indigenous issues, social justice etc and through their work, aim to make a difference to our community. Documentaries raise awareness about issues and inspire change. Making a grant to a documentary will increase the reach and effectiveness of the donation through the outreach of the film into community and educational institutions. Supporting documentary adds value to existing grant-making practices.
