The Fledgling Fund works in the direction of improving lives of vulnerable individuals, families and communities by supporting innovative media projects which target deep-rooted social problems
The Fledgling Fund considers requests for creative media projects in two funding cycles each year. Applicants are strongly encouraged to review the mission of our creative media initiative as well as its application process prior to submitting this online form.
With approximately $1.5 million in funding disbursed annually, the organization is interested in making strategic grants and investments which help fledgling projects take flight. The organization look for opportunities where our funding can play a key role in the life of a creative media project that we think has the potential to ignite social change. Typically, these are grants at a critical stage of a media project where timely funding could amplify its social impact.
The Fledgling Fund leverage resources by funding projects around a cluster of issues that we believe are critical including:
- ·: #000000;”>· Health and wellness
- ·: #000000;”>· Among others
In this way, the organization can select media projects that not only highlight the complexity of these social problems but also offer solutions. A three-pronged approach that includes funding for an innovative film or media project, funding for a strategic outreach and audience engagement campaign, as well as financial support for the community- based organizations that are committed to the issues raised in the film.
The next funding cycle will open on August 13th, 2012.
