GET INVOLVED

Empower and engage Native People to craft their tales by supporting Vision Maker Media!  
Since 1976, we have been sharing stories to inspire, educate, and heal the Native American community.  

By donating, you help support Native American filmmakers in professional development and Native youths in media training, while sharing their stories with a wider world for all to gain a better understanding of Native culture. 

Throughout the year, Vision Maker Media can, with your help, continue to expand our programs: 

  • Native Youth Media Project – younger generation learning how to become storytellers. 
  • Share funding for emerging Native filmmakers in our Creative Shorts Fellowship program. 
  • Producers Summit for Native documentary filmmakers that enhances skills and networks. 

Your donation, big or small, will make a difference for Native American culture now and in the future. 

Give the gift of hope today by donating now.
