All Together Now! #GivingTuesdayNow

With you by our side, Chicago Filmmakers can continue its mission of supporting artists and audiences despite financial losses due to COVID-19.

A fundraising campaign for Chicago Filmmakers

Today is Giving Tuesday – a global day of giving created as an emergency response to the unprecedented need caused by COVID-19. If Chicago Filmmakers has helped you tell the stories you needed to tell or connected you with the stories you needed to hear, please consider supporting us now. We need you. Stories are a lifeline in times of trouble. Help us help others keep telling them. Join us for #GivingTuesdayNow on May 5th, a global day of giving created to help organizations through the COVID-19 crisis.

Your generosity on this day will make a big difference; allowing Chicago Filmmakers to continue carrying out its mission despite financial losses from its closure due to COVID-19. With you by our side, we can continue to adapt and provide opportunities for our community to stay healthy, connected and creative. 

Join us for a day full of online events including demos, filmmaker Q&As, and our first ever queer comedy show
