As a small foundation, we understand that we can’t do all that we want to do on our own. To that end we work with other funders – both individual and institutional – to deepen and extend our work.

IMPACT PARTNERS

Fledgling is proud to be a founding member of Impact Partners, an organization committed to financing independent documentary cinema that addresses pressing social issues.  Through Impact Partners we invest in a small number of film projects each year. This funding is distinct from our grant program and we are not involved in the initial review process.  All inquiries are handled through the Impact Partners review process.  We are proud to have supported the following projects through Impact Partners.

OTHER FUNDING PARTNERS

We are grateful to the Ford Foundation, Dobkin Family Foundation, Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation, Neda Nobari Foundation and several anonymous funding partners who have generously supported our work and the work of our grantees in different ways.  For more information on partnering with us contact Sheila Leddy.

“By completely re-imagining the relationship of philanthropist and grantee, The Fledgling Fund has invested in a generation of filmmakers to think more boldly about the impact of their stories in the world. Fledgling Fund grants are designed to connect, amplify and leverage the power of stories — and no funder is as committed to the process as Fledgling. They create innovative resources to help their grantees do better, provide breakthrough opportunities for professional and personal development, and most of all, they are a full-on partner in the long road of the journey.”
