If a foundation wants to grant money to a specific documentary how will the Documentary Australia Foundation manage that preference?
Documentary Australia can receive submissions from filmmakers who choose not to pursue another partnership, such as collaborating with a charity or not-for-profit organisation, but need to find a way to offer a donor tax deductibility or a foundation DGR status. Documentary Australia will give eligibility status to projects that either have a qualifying certificate as an Australian film, or can clearly demonstrate that they are a bona fide documentary being made by reputable or emerging filmmakers according to Documentary Australia’s assessment criteria. The submissions are not judged stylistically. They are assessed with reference to whether the subject, approach and outreach potential are appropriate for philanthropic support. A foundation can name a preferred recipient for a grant and Documentary Australia will manage that preference after it is satisfied that the particular documentary meets the criteria outlined in the application on the Documentary Australia website.
