Through Framing Our Future we are expanding access to transformative education programs for more than 7,000 students each year. Over 70% of these students come from under-resourced schools and participate free of charge.

In honor of our 25th Anniversary, the Jacob Burns Foundation will match all new and increased gifts received by September 30, up to a total of $125,000. Help us meet the match and double your impact today!

Your support will help us:

  • Enhance school programs and after-school classes
  • Deepen our commitment to under-resourced schools
  • Add Spanish-language classes to increase access
  • Introduce students to stories from around the world that build empathy and ignite a lifelong passion for film and media arts
  • Expand media literacy education by helping students navigate bias, AI, misinformation, and online safety

Together, we can empower learners of all ages and backgrounds to navigate a complex world, discover their unique voice, and tell stories that matter.
