Fuel the Firehouse

In a world filled with 24/7 news and constant noise, we amplify the voices of those who too often go unheard.

A fundraising campaign for Chicago Filmmakers

Chicago Filmmakers has been the champion for diversity in media arts in Chicago for over 40 years. In a world filled with 24/7 news and constant noise, we give voice to those who too often go unheard. We amplify stories that are bold, authentic, and that challenge the status quo.

Chicago Filmmakers has purchased a firehouse, which will be our new location for classes and screenings, as well as the headquarters for our film festivals. When we move in, we hope to have a beautiful screening room in the firetruck bay, new equipment and meeting spaces, as well as expanded classrooms for our students.

 The firehouse needs a lot of work, and you can make a real difference!

Your gift today will help us #FuelTheFirehouse!

Over $25,000 raised on #GivingTuesday!

December 15, 2016

We raised $25,853 on GivingTuesday this year! This took a big chunk out of our overall $100,000 goal, but we still have more work to do. Our goal before 2017 is to raise another $5,000 which will be matched dollar-for-dollar by an anonymous donor to become $10,000! Please help us #FuelTheFirehouse by making a gift today.
