BFMC Community Film Fund Grant Application - Berkshire Film and Media Collaborative

Berkshire Film and Media Collaborative’s Community Film Fund (CFF) is being established to provide funding to local non-profit organizations to produce high-quality, message driven videos for their programs, branding, fundraising, marketing and social media. The CFF will “match” monies up to $5000 per organization. A letter stating that the funds have been raised is a requirement with the grant application. We believe the Community Film Fund will help give a voice through video to our local organizations as well as create jobs for our local filmmakers.
