Artist Emergency Fund Pilot Year
|
|
In 2018, AmDoc launched the Artist Emergency fund to provide financial assistance to filmmakers facing unexpected crisis. During the pilot year, AmDoc disbursed nearly $22,000 and directly supported 25 filmmakers in need. As we evaluate our impact, we will be temporarily closing down the application portal and plan to reopen the fund later this year based on our learnings. Special thanks to our pilot year funders Chicago Media Project, Genuine Article Pictures and the Sage Foundation.
