HUMANIST FILMS RECEIVES A DOCUMENTARY IMPACT PRODUCERS RELIEF FUND GRANT
We’re deeply honored to announce that we’ve received a generous grant from the Documentary Impact Producers Relief Fund. The fund is administered by the Doc Society (formerly known as BRITDOC and earlier the British Documentary Film Foundation). According to their site, they’re “a non-profit founded in 2005 committed to enabling great documentary films and connecting them to audiences globally.” They’re supported by the Perspective Fund. Per their site, their “mission is to foster positive social change by funding and partnering with impact-oriented media makers and campaigns.” Impact producing is an integral part of our filmmaking. To be acknowledged and supported for this challenging work means a lot to us. We recognize that there are many other impact producers who are also in need during this unprecedented time. So we greatly appreciate this grant, which will allow us to continue our impact producing.

HUMANIST FILMS AWARDED A CA CARES RELIEF GRANT
We’re humbled to announce that we’ve been awarded a CA CARES Relief Grant by the California Humanities, an independent nonprofit organization and partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). Funding for these grants has been provided by the NEH as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act economic stabilization plan. According to their site, the mission of California Humanities is “to connect Californians to ideas and one another in order to understand our shared heritage and diverse cultures, inspire civic participation, and shape our future.” Since 1975, they’ve been “promoting the humanities as relevant, meaningful ways to understand the human condition and connect us to each other in order to help strengthen California.” Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, they’re awarding these grants “to meet the emergency relief needs of organizations and individuals in order to help sustain and grow the public humanities field in California.” We’re very honored to receive a generous grant from this respected organization because we aspire to the same goal. Through our artistic work, we similarly attempt to explore the human condition. We recognize that there are many other worthy organizations and individuals that are in need during this challenging time. So we deeply appreciate California Humanities’ support of our work.
