$125,000 Doc Society Climate Story Fund

Deadline: Mar 10

Eligibility: Global

Description:  

The Doc Society Climate Story Fund supports compelling independent media storytelling and impact strategies from around that world that can help audiences envision the just transition, and activate them to make these visions a reality. The Fund provides up to $125,000 grants to support the completion of production of nonfiction projects, and for impact pilots for completed nonfiction and fiction projects.

We believe investing in culture is a solution to address the climate emergency. We aren’t looking for the one silver bullet story that will work for everyone, rather we believe we need a multitude of stories “as diverse as the ecosystems we seek to save” (props to filmmaker Michael Premo for coining this phrase).

Stories that are from, by and about different communities.

Stories that tickle the romantics, comedians, and thrill seekers alike

Stories that forge deep connections with those who have historically been ignored and marginalized by the climate conversation.

Stories that can help see new norms and beliefs and germinate visions of a more climate just and safe future.

Stories that forge deep connections with audiences and drive the ground swell for climate action.
