However\, with over $250 billion sitting in U.S. Donor Advised Funds (DAFs) and private family foundations\, there’s an untapped potential for you to explore alternative fundraising strategies. These funds\, often overlooked\, present a unique opportunity to finance socially impactful films while offering investors tax-advantaged pathways to support causes they believe in. Understanding how to access and utilize these philanthropic resources is not only timely but crucial for producers looking to de-risk their projects and attract additional investments. \nDespite the growing availability of philanthropic funds\, many producers struggle to tap into these resources due to a lack of knowledge and understanding of how DAFs and private foundations operate. Common missteps include not knowing the right questions to ask\, failing to offer enticing benefits to potential funders\, and misunderstanding the strategic use of these funds to de-risk projects. Additionally\, producers often overlook geographic and media-type limitations that could impact their ability to secure funding. This webinar aims to equip producers with the knowledge and tools to avoid these pitfalls and successfully leverage philanthropic funding for their productions. \nThis webinar is led by Rick Davis\, Managing Partner at LOHAS\, which provides solutions for impact investing and fundraising. He is a seasoned expert in entertainment finance with a deep understanding of alternative fundraising strategies. With extensive experience in working with producers to secure non-traditional funding sources\, Rick has successfully guided numerous on how to tap into philanthropic resources like DAFs and private foundations. His expertise in navigating the complexities of these funding avenues makes him the perfect instructor for this webinar. \nWhen you sign up for this webinar\, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of alternative fundraising strategies\, focusing on how to access and utilize philanthropic funding. You’ll learn key terms such as Social Impact Entertainment (SIE)\, Donor-Advised Fund (DAF)\, and Private Foundation and understand how these entities operate and how they can become investors in your production. The webinar will cover the strategic uses of philanthropic financing\, including how it can de-risk your project and attract other investors. You’ll also explore the limitations and enticements for donors\, as well as strategies for identifying and approaching potential funders. By the end of the session\, you’ll be equipped with the knowledge to leverage alternative funding sources and take your production to the next level. \nPLUS! Receive an alternative financing one-sheet with questions to ask when seeking finance!
