Do you have any contacts at foundations?

We hope you are enjoying the exuberance of spring. Thanks to your ongoing partnership with BC Voices, we had a great time celebrating Women’s History Month in March, connecting with almost 21,000 people at Lush Cosmetics stores in Manhattan, and attendees who watched our Looking Back to Go Forward panel at the 92nd St. Y, or joined screenings of our Stand UP, Speak OUT short documentaries with Connect the Dots and Columbia Votes.

All the while, we are working on the next installment in the Stand UP, Speak OUT Docuseries, Episode 4: To Marry Whom We Love, or, Not At All – American women’s fight for agency and choice in singlehood and intimate relationships and the unprecedented lives we’ve created over the past 50 years with the opportunities, independence and freedoms we gained in the 1970s.

And, we could use your help to raise the next $135,000 to finish To Marry Whom We Love, or, Not At All as well as to remain engaged in the ongoing fight for women’s full equality through conversations on social media and get-into-action events with human rights organizations.

We’re applying to several foundations for grants to support our work. If you know anyone affiliated with these funders, or if you know of any other potential funders, please email us.

• First Flights Short Film Fund
• Leonard-Litz LGBTQ+ Foundation
