About Fiscal Sponsorship
The WMM Workshop Series
The Women Make Movies Production Assistance Program was established in 1988 to develop
and support women in independent production. The Program
fulfills this mission by offering fiscal sponsorship to film and video projects
and by providing independent filmmakers with valuable information and guidance through our semi-annual workshops. Together these programs reflect Women Make Movies commitment to outreach and development of both emerging and established women film and video makers.
About Fiscal Sponsorship
Fiscal Sponsorship
helps selected film and video projects to completion by acting as a non-profit tax-exempt umbrella organization
for the project. One of the major hurdles for any film and video project is fundraising,
and the fiscal sponsorship program can expand your possibilities. Many public and private institutions, along with individual donors, require non-profit status to make tax-deductible donations. By providing fiscal sponsorship, WMM enables projects to receive funding from sources they were previously ineligible to receive.
For more details on the program and application process visit the
Fiscal Sponsorshop section of the site.
Over the past 20 years WMM has assisted with the completion of hundreds of award winning films, including this year’s Academy Award®-nominated feature
WHICH WAY HOME and last year's
THE BETRAYAL (NERAKHOON) by Ellen Kuras. Previously FREEHELD won the Academy Award®-for best documentary short. Films from the WMM PA Program have premiered and won awards at major festivals around the world including Cannes, Berlin and Toronto and of course Sundance. For the last three year's years have taken top prices including this year's Best Cinematography Award for
THE OATH by Laura Poitras and last year’s Sundance Directing Award for U.S. Documentary winner
EL GENERAL, by Natalia Almada.
