This year, we are streamlining our grant applications into one open call!

Using the same Core Application questions, you can apply to IDA's Enterprise Documentary Fund and Pare Lorentz Fund at the same time. There will be a few questions specific to each Fund, but all other questions will be used for both applications.

The theme for the 2024 Pare Lorentz Fund will be Gender Justice. We are leaving the theme broad and open to interpretation on purpose. Though this Fund was historically only available to US makers, this year, the Fund is open to artists worldwie. Similar to last year, Pare Lorentz will also be selecting one immersive nonfiction project for the 3-project cohort.

Phone Calls to IDA Funds

A note about phone calls to IDA Funds. Once the Open Call starts, we tend to get more phone calls than we can return. Please avoid leaving a message, as we will be able to get back to you much faster over email - funds@documentary.org.

If you need to speak to someone as an accommodation, feel free to leave a message or email the request. We will get back to you much faster that way.
