FilmAssist Fund / Donations

Donate to help filmmakers, productions, and communities move forward.

The FilmAssist Fund is the donation side of FilmAssist. Support helps expand creator tools, project access, production funding, studio infrastructure, and community giveback.

Where Donations Go

Support with a clear purpose.

Donations are organized into practical giving areas so support can be tracked separately from FilmAssist registrations, add-ons, tools, and product subscriptions.

Creator Tools

Support free and low-cost tools, templates, and planning resources for filmmakers preparing real productions.

Production Funding

Help build a recurring Fund model for budget matching and future production-support opportunities.

Studio Access

Support long-term studio development and production infrastructure for communities with fewer creative resources.

Community Giveback

Contribute to community programs, resource distribution, and direct support for people who need production access.

Donation Options

Choose how you want to support the Fund.

Each button opens the FilmAssist Fund checkout flow and then sends the donor to Stripe's hosted payment page.

Accountability

Donation records stay separate.

The donation flow uses the existing Stripe account, but Fund records live in the dedicated FilmAssist Fund ledger.

Every donation starts through FilmAssist and is completed through Stripe Checkout.

Verified Stripe webhook events are recorded in the dedicated FilmAssist Fund ledger.

Donation categories are kept separate from registrations, tools, add-ons, and product subscriptions.

One-time and monthly support can be reported independently for future Fund dashboards.
