ABOUT THE FIRELIGHT FUND

As Firelight Media celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2025, we launch the Firelight Fund to meet this urgent moment. The Fund supports Black, Brown, and Indigenous stories from development through distribution, with a focus on those who are telling urgent stories and using their craft to advance social justice.

The Firelight Fund is open to short documentaries at any stage and feature-length documentaries at production, post-production, or distribution and impact stages. Initial grant sizes will range up to $50,000 per project, and the inaugural grant cycle will kick off in the fall of 2025.
