The SFFILM Rainin Filmmaker with Disabilities Grant, introduced in 2020, supports Bay Area-based filmmakers whose films specifically address stories from the disability community.
Working with intermediaries allows our funding to operate closer to the ground as we share power and decision-making with trusted aligned partners in the community.
We are launching the “Let’s Talk” series to address issues artists face by listening, engaging in meaningful dialogue and being more accessible and transparent, especially with those who have historically been unacknowledged by or excluded from philanthropy.
SFFILM, in partnership with the Kenneth Rainin Foundation, announced the 18 feature projects that will receive SFFILM Rainin Grants totaling $450,000
The Kenneth Rainin Foundation awarded $577,500 to 25 small and mid-sized arts organizations through our New and Experimental Works (NEW) Program.
“Of Here From There | De Aquí Desde Allá” engaged developmentally disabled artists to explore ideas of movement and migration.
Pamela Mattera will support the grantmaking process as well as research, data analysis and communications to enhance learning, program outcomes and transparency.
Twenty-eight filmmaking teams have been shortlisted as contenders to receive funding for their narrative projects at different stages of production.
We are exploring how to deepen our support of artists and our commitment to the field of temporary public art.
The Rainin Fellowship supports anchor artists—artists who are central to their communities and who inevitably push the field forward.
