Firelight Media invites our community of previously supported filmmakers and impact producers to apply to the Impact Campaign Fund, now in its fourth year. This is a dedicated fund to resource audience engagement and impact campaigns led by current or former Firelight Media-supported filmmakers. The size of funds will be in the range of $10k-$25k with an anticipated announcement and disbursement in late summer 2023. In addition to funding, grantees will have access to mentorship and impact strategy support.

Projects will be selected based on:
