Subject Matter expands the impact of powerful documentary storytelling
through a unique three-pronged approach:
We award a grant to a documentary film highlighting an urgent social issue so the film can reach more audiences.
Then we award a matching grant to a corresponding nonprofit organization addressing the issue featured in the film.
Lastly, we invite inspired audience members to join us in donating to the nonprofit to create a positive community action in response to the film.
Connecting storytellers to audiences
Connecting audiences to experts on the ground
Connecting experts to supporters and resources
Film: Daughters received a grant to support their outreach & impact efforts. They’ve since won numerous awards and the film is now streaming on Netflix.
Pictured above:
Nonprofit: Girls For A Change received a corresponding grant to establish an education fund for the girls who participated in the film.
Audiences: Sundance Film Festival audiences joined us in donating to the education fund, raising thousands of dollars in additional support.
