Grant for Emerging Documentary Filmmakers
The purpose of this program is to support emerging documentary filmmakers. The term “emerging” is intended to denote a person committed to the craft of making documentaries, who has demonstrated that commitment by several years.
The program is limited to organizations anywhere in the US, certified by the IRS as “public charities”, which undertake to supervise any project for which individuals receive funds, and to control the selection of individual recipients of funds. The fund does not provide support for endowments, building campaigns, accumulated deficits, or ordinary operating budgets, or make grants to individuals. The fund does not support instructional or performance documentaries or student film projects. Filmmakers are eligible for only one grant from the Pacific Pioneer Fund during their careers.
Grants to support filmmakers are limited to filmmakers or videographers who live and work in California, Oregon and Washington.
The board meets three times a year. Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis. The upcoming deadlines are 12/15/09, 04/15/10, and 08/15/10. Rejected applicants must wait one year to reapply.
