For almost 30 years, IDA’s fiscal sponsorship program has been helping independent documentary projects of all types get funded, finished and seen. Last year we administered over six million dollars in donations and grants to our sponsored projects. The fiscal sponsorship program is open to independent filmmakers and documentarians, regardless of education, background or previous credits. Whether this is your first film or you’ve been making documentaries as long as we’ve been sponsoring them, if you have an idea and a plan, we can help.
