Recently, LOHAS Partner Rick Davis joined Stage 32 for the webinar “How to Tap into Donor-Advised Funds to Help Finance Your Film”, which provides a solid understanding of how filmmakers can tap into alternative fundraising strategies for their films, especially when it comes to philanthropic funding.
Securing traditional funding for your film project is tougher than ever in today’s cautious industry. With investors becoming more risk-averse, it’s important to explore alternative ways to get your project off the ground. For instance, despite there being over $250 billion sitting in U.S. Donor Advised Funds (DAFs) and private family foundations, these funds are often overlooked when they could be a game-changer for financing socially impactful films. If you’re looking to de-risk your project and attract more investments, understanding how to tap into these resources is a must.
In this exclusive webinar, you will get a solid understanding of how to tap into alternative fundraising strategies for your film, especially when it comes to philanthropic funding. You’ll learn key terms like Social Impact Entertainment (SIE), Donor-Advised Fund (DAF), and Private Foundation, and how these entities can actually invest in your project. Rick will walk you through the strategic uses of philanthropic financing, showing you how it can help de-risk your project and bring in more investors. You’ll also learn how to identify and approach potential funders, and what benefits and limitations they consider. You’ll walk away with the tools you need to tap into this alternative financing!
Rick’s presentation starts at the 3:10 mark if you’d like to skip the introductions.
