Central to the success of this film is the dedication of financial support from private donors, foundations, corporations and crowd funding. Currently, our fundraising strategy has three tiers:
Private Donors: First we will solicit private donations for financial support through campaigns aimed at some of the individuals who are within BGLO life. Reaching out to them will serve two purposes: to inform them of the project and how they can help financially, and to ask for their participation if interested in the actual production of the film.
Foundations/Corporations: Historical societies, corporate sponsors and other cultural/film foundations have expressed much interest in the BGLO culture. This is most recently seen in the development, support and execution of the Sprite Step Off Competition, a MTV broadcast reality show about stepping. Sprite spent millions of dollars in promoting, filming and providing scholarships to showcase the culture in the largest National stepping competition in history. Corporate sponsors role in supporting our film will help provide the necessary resources to complete our project.
Crowd Funding: Last, we will compile a list of needs to set a crowd-funding goal using sites like Indegogo and KickStarter to raise the remaining budget balance. By offering unique rewards in exchange for donations, Beyond This Place hopes to raise funds while also raising the awareness of the film.
In addition to fundraising for this film, we are also thankful for in kind donations which can help offset budget cost and/or help provide “rewards” during our crowd funding campaigns. More details will be coming soon. Please come back soon for information on how you can help donate!
