Our Fiscal Sponsorship Program, launched on September 1, 2015, enables The Redford Center to support more impact film projects in a less hands-on capacity. As a fiscal sponsor, The Redford Centers role is to make sure our filmmakers are spending grant funds appropriately, and to support them in the filming process so that they can create work that helps change the world. As of the end of 2018 the fiscal sponsorship program has grown to include 30 fiscally sponsored projects. 362537 Redford Center Grants:Redford Center Grants provides development and production funds, story and networking support to filmmakers who understand the power of a well-told, well-timed story to inspire positive environmental change. Thanks to the support of the New York Community Trust, The Redford Center has held two, two-year grant cycles to-date, the inaugural cycle launching in 2016, and the most recent cycle in 2018, supporting 14 film projects to-date. Our 2018 grantee feature length environmental documentary film projects are on a range of topics including: cell-based meat production, climate change, youth environmental movement, grassroots organizing for environmental change, artist response to climate disaster, adaptation to climate change and the Bering Gate. 170605 Clean Energy Initiative:In November 2013, The Redford Center convened thought leaders across many disciplines to help refine the style and substance of our Clean Energy Innovation Project. Entering this gathering with a desire to help re-frame the moribund public dialogue on climate change solutions, we found a diverse array of stakeholders from Big Business and politicians to clean-tech start-ups and cutting edge marketing firms yearning for a more engaging message to better reflect the current state of affairs in clean energy: a reality that contains better pathways to hope and engagement. Better technologies are finally achieving better economics, resulting in a new energy gold rush that has the potential of climate change. Using our established documentary storytelling expertise and leveraging the Redford brand and networks, the Clean Energy Innovation Project is developing an expansive communications platform for this clean power movement.At the center of the effort is our film, HAPPENING: A Clean Energy Revolution which finished film production in October 2017 and immediately started a film festival tour. The film was then released in December of 2017 on HBO and has since appeared at 27 film festivals. As of the end of 2018, Happening has reached more than 2 million views in the US alone and screened in 45 countries. There are also many organizations working in the clean power arena, and the purpose of Happenings impact and outreach campaign now is to bring our individual efforts together and broaden our collective success advancing the clean energy movement. A special 50-minute classroom EDU version of the film was also created in 2018 with associated curriculums for Grades 6-12 and Universities. The Redford Center has fielded inquiries, and provided screening licenses, support, and/or co-production to over 1,000 community and classroom screenings to dateand it continues to receive calls and inquiries weekly. 106629 2132570 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false true true true false true false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false true 43 0 false 5 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false false false X 8 7 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false true true false CA X X Jill Tidman 4152608438 PO Box 29144 San Francisco CA 941290144 Jill Tidman Secty,Treasurer 40.00 0.00 X X 145000 0 0 James Redford President,Chair 8.00 0.00 X X 0 0 2215 Jeremy Smith Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jonathan Kaufelt Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kirby Walker Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Robert Redford Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jannat Gargi Board Co-Chair 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jeff Ubben Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 145000 2215 1 false false false 0 226899 2458489 2685388 Licensing Fees 94657 94657 Misc Program Refunds 6817 6817 Royalties, DVD Sales Screenings 101474 138 138 0 0 0 0 68226 226899 68226 0 0 0 0 2787000 101612 X 1409438 1409438 20346 20346 61400 61400 0 145000 62389 52321 30290 0 214456 78626 87305 48525 0 15712 3007 9161 3544 29089 3703 21612 3774 0 1285 1241 44 20532 20532 0 0 0 319200 146484 83023 89693 0 28824 6421 18425 3978 23920 4144 18318 1458 0 29186 4415 21035 3736 69450 54573 13829 1048 0 790 790 0 0 139741 136254 2075 1412 19931 37 20063 -169 Fiscal Sponsorship Fees 54320 54320 Other Program Costs 49858 43434 6420 4 Networking, Meetings, Meals 45072 38326 6612 134 Promotion 6524 4012 1956 556 0 2704074 2132570 383521 187983 977296 810887 0 120000 452637 0 0 0 0 0 685 43685 23802 15039 19883 0 0 0 180000 67601 7145 1292335 1358838 95077 78654 95077 78654 X 557740 626322 639518 653862 1197258 1280184 1292335 1358838 82926 X false true X true false X 541026 883542 1360227 2241038 2685388 7711221 0 0 541026 883542 1360227 2241038 2685388 7711221 0 7711221 0 0 24 37 61 138 260 7711481 1.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 36938 20734 16204 6747 3068 3679 19883 true North America 0 0 Environmental film production Filmmaking 61400 61400 61400 North America Documentary film 41400 Bank Wire 1 Cash Grant for documentary film North America 1 20000 Bank Wire false false false false false false Part I, Line 2 - Grantmakers Explanation For Monitoring Use of Funds Outside US $41,400 wired to Arkar Films, Inc.
