Institutional Grants

The Institutional Grants Program assists in fostering educational activities between the public and the film industry while encouraging the appreciation of motion pictures as both an art form and a vocation.
In 2010 the program distributed $500,000 to a record 73 film-related nonprofit organizations, including universities, museums and career development programs.
