Film Grant Inquiry Form

Thank you for your interest in Perspective Fund. Currently, full grant proposals for funding are accepted by invitation only. However the Perspective Fund team seeks to remain apprised about new work that fits our criteria and issue areas. We also recognize that not everyone has the same ability to access the types of funds, festivals, and recognition that often elevate a project into full consideration by grantmakers. Accordingly we welcome filmmakers to complete our inquiry form below, and submit initial project details in order to introduce us to your work. Entries are reviewed regularly but due to limited staffing we cannot respond to each applicant directly. We do not have the capacity to reply individually to phone calls or e-mails asking about the status of your inquiry. After evaluation of your materials, you may receive an invitation for a follow-up submission. If you do not hear from us within one month of submitting the inquiry form, your project has not advanced in consideration.
