We
are now launching our film's National Educational Outreach
Campaign. You can help us reach schools, libraries, museums,
universities, after school programs and organizations serving
women and girls by donating through our nonprofit fiscal sponsor,
Cinefemme.
To
make a secure online donation, please visit: Cinefemme.net.
The film's educational outreach campaign
will include creating curriculum guides, and building out
the beyond
seneca falls
website over the next 12 to 18 months. We're establishing
relationships and working with youth empowerment organizations,
women's leadership groups and educators across the country.
We continue seeking grants for our outreach budget which is
going to cost a minimum of $50K, and are in need of angel
donors.
We can't do this alone!
Your donation will give this "foundational
film" (in the words of a PBS executive last week) the
push it needs to make as great an impact as possible.
Our
fiscal sponsor, Cinefemme, is a ten year old organization
supporting women filmmakers. It's a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization,
which allows you tax deductions for your contributions.
You
can also mail a donation - and
please write "Seneca Falls" in the memo line
- to:
Cinefemme
P.O. Box 3126
Sausalito,
CA 94966
Please
make checks payable to Cinefemme. This ensures that
you’ll receive an acknowledgement letter for tax purposes,
and your donation will be available for our project.
ANOTHER WAY TO
HELP....
Your organization can
purchase a copy of the film with our Viewing Guide, and schedule
a screening. Email us and we'll help you make that happen!
info@senecafallsfilm.org
Please
consider purchasing a copy of the film or making a donation
of any amount today.
Thank
you!
The Next Phase
Now
that we’re entering the film’s distribution and
outreach phase, we need support from the community that has
formed around Seneca Falls. So here is our wish list –
some ways you can help in addition to buying a DVD for yourself,
someone in your life, or your local school or alma mater.
WISH LIST:
Spread
the word on Facebook, MySpace or your own social networks
Tell all the educators in your life about the film and where to buy a DVD
Donate air miles so we can attend screenings, conferences
and festivals
Contribute ideas or be a guest blogger on BEYOND Seneca Falls
Contribute links to organizations with similar
missions
Contact the media and see if you can get us publicity or press
Contact television program executives you know who
would screen the film
Connect us with foundations or individuals that might want
to sponsor a screening or support our national educational
outreach campaign
Recommend a great educational distributor
Recommend a publicist who could donate some time to our outreach project
Help us develop study guides (teachers -- share your lesson plans!)
Contact women and girls’ organizations that would purchase
DVDs for their constituents or to donate to schools
Help us find outreach funding
Write a review, or just send us your thoughts after watching
the film!
Make
a donation yourself - to help offset our DVD production and
distribution costs.
Please contact Louise@senecafallsfilm.org if you can help out in any of these ways. Thanks!
