NONPROFIT   FILM   EDUCATION   COMMUNITY

NONPROFIT

A critical 46% of our annual income comes from charitable contributions. Ticket revenue, concession sales, and membership fees alone cannot sustain our commitment to educate, engage, and inspire people of all ages through the power of film, media, and 21st century technology.

Each year we depend on individuals, corporations, foundations and government support to help us raise over $2 million to fill the gap.
