Become A SIFF Supporter Today and Help us Meet Our $100,000 Goal by September 30!
Donate now and your gift will be matched dollar for dollar (up to $50,000) by a generous, long-time SIFF Supporter!
Individuals are at the heart of our success. Whether you are a filmmaker, a volunteer, a guest, or an audience member, you are an integral part of SIFF's mission to create unique experiences that bring people together to discover extraordinary films from around the world.
Each year, SIFF must raise $500,000 from individuals like you to keep our important programs going. Your much-needed support helps SIFF to foster a community that is more informed, aware, and alive through sustaining year-round FutureWave educational programs; community outreach and partnerships; bringing filmmakers from around the world to the Festival and SIFF Cinema; and supporting our local film industry. Today, we are asking you to contribute to that success by pledging your support and becoming a SIFF Supporter.
The current economic crisis has hit SIFF hard. Ticket sales, grants, and sponsorships do not cover all it takes to make this beloved institution accomplish all that it does throughout the year. SIFF is now facing a critical situation that jeopardizes so much that we have achieved together over the past 34 years. SIFF needs your help to ensure all of our existing programs continue to grow and gain momentum. We need you to help us reach our $100,000 goal by September 30. Please become a SIFF Supporter today!
Thank you for making SIFF a priority. Every gift does make a difference!
You can donate online with your Visa, Mastercard, or American Express; donate over the phone by calling the SIFF office at 206-464-5830 and pledging your support; or give your gift in person at SIFF Cinema.
