SUPPORT Vision Maker Media

GET INVOLVED

Empower and engage Native People to share stories by supporting Vision Maker Media! Together, we share these stories to inspire, educate, and heal. With your investment today in Vision Maker Media, you help us be at the forefront of educating students for careers in media by strengthening their skills. Your donation helps aspiring Native filmmakers become career Native filmmakers through the Native Youth Media Project; Creative Shorts Fellowship; and Public Media Fund, which provide much-needed mentorships, professional development, training, and funding to make films.

But that’s not all. Your donation will also help provide free online events where filmmakers are able to share their stories and have panel discussions to engage and educate audiences on Native topics that are affecting their communities, which will help change and heal our world.

SUPPORT NATIVE STORYTELLERS

Because of donor support from people like you, here is what this year's donations provided:

  • Allowed 19 Native Youth to receive training with the Native Youth Media Project.
  • Supported 5 emerging Native filmmakers with funding in the Creative Shorts Fellowship program.
  • Helped 11 Native documentary filmmakers received funding.
  • Provided 99 Native documentary filmmakers professional development opportunities through the Vision Maker Media Producer Summit.
  • But that’s not all, continued support provided free films for your community through online events.
