in the tri-state area experience a wide array of groundbreaking film
and visual literacy programs developed by the Jacob Burns Film Center.
Over 55% of these children are from underserved school districts
and participate in all of our programs at no cost whatsoever - we
even pay for their transportation!
These programs are made possible
only through the generous support of individuals, foundations and
corporations. While membership support plays an important role in
the life of the Film Center, donations to the JBFC Program Fund help
us to continue and expand upon our education and outreach initiatives.
Donations to the JBFC are fully tax-deductible. (Please note your
