Institutional Giving
Institutional Giving allows the IDA to serve our documentary community and filmmakers. We work closely with each foundation to connect it to IDA activities that reflect shared values and priorities. Through these efforts, we have built a community of funders who share our commitment to cultivating original voices in documentary film, and storytelling, and to building a stronger, more equitable field. Institutional grants provide stability for existing programs and seed the launch of new initiatives. These activities empower artists to create high-quality stories that inspire audiences by speaking to the issues that shape our world. The IDA is grateful to the following foundations and institutions for their generous support.
