Our Foundation

Our Foundation Gives Back! 

Each year we set aside a significant portion of our revenue to help fund the projects of young and talented independent film and TV producers. 

We want to help the next generation of entrepreneurs get their start, so we dedicate a percentage of revenue to our Foundation. If you have an idea that meets the following criteria, please contact us to discuss the application process:

Foundation Areas of Support

We support projects of the next generation of entrepreneurs. Our areas of support match our areas of service:

1. Health and Wellness

2. Green technology

3. Greater good projects and products

 Guidelines to Apply

– The leaders of the project must be 18-30 years old
– You must live in the United States
– You have done some work to be sure that you are not infringing on another company or individual’s patent
– You will be ready to provide a detailed outline
– If you are in college, the project will not interfere with your academic performance or goals

 What We’ll Charge

We are not sharks! We aim to help as many people as possible and are not seeking to profit. Our standard agreement is that if you are successful, you will agree to donate 10% of any profit up to a certain amount (not revenue, but actual profit) back to the Foundation so that we can help others. We will provide you with a report of who you helped!

What We Will Do For You

You will receive the services we provide and you choose for no cost. This might include crowdfunding services such as platform connections, executive coaching, startup consulting, and more. We might also provide funding.  (If you are looking for funding for an indie project, our Indie Arts Accelerator has its own application process.)   

 

Indie Funding for Film, TV, Games, and Music: Application Steps 

We’d love to talk to you about helping you raise indie funding for your independent film, TV show, game, or music project.  It all starts with a phone call, where we’d ask you to be prepared to answer the following:

What is your elevator pitch – in a minute or less, what is your log line, what will make your project successful, and where are you in the process?

What is your background and experience, and how much time do you have to dedicate to this project? Do you have samples of similar projects?

How much indie funding will you need to raise, at minimum, and how much would you want to raise ideally? What is the basic budget, and how was it designed?

Next Steps After You Apply

Since most of our work is done for free or on contingency, we need to make sure we can truly help you be successful. Indie funding for Film, TV, Games, and Music is challenging but can be quite fruitful.

Once we have spoken we will assess whether we feel we can be helpful.  Since we guarantee our indie funding services, we are picky.  We also want to be fair to you and ensure that we are the right choice. We have been quite successful in assessing fit.

This we will come back to you with one of several options.  In most cases we will at least offer advice and resources (for free of course). In many cases we may go beyond that and help with introductions and connections (also for free).

If we think we can help in a more comprehensive way, we will offer a variety of possible plans, all of which will be based on mutually agreed upon contingencies. Once again, many of our indie funding services are free and all are guaranteed.
