The Fledgling Fund

Collaborate with The Fledgling Fund
The Fledgling Fund welcomes the opportunity to partner with other funders to leverage expertise and financial resources and most importantly to maximize the social impact of create media projects. From the beginning, collaboration has been a core component of The Fledgling Fund's strategy as reflected in the strong partnerships we have developed with Chicken and Egg Pictures, Impact Partners and Working Films. We would like to build on this strategy. To that end, we have created an enhanced version of our website for individual funders, corporations and foundations interested in using creative media to achieve their philanthropic goals.

The Fledgling Fund has supported all of the creative media projects featured on our website because we believe in the power of each of them to change hearts and minds and ultimately help to achieve social change. While our funding has often been the catalyst to move a project to the next level or to jump-start the community engagement efforts, additional funding is still required to maximize the project's social impact.


We offer our funding partners the following:
  • Fully vetted projects that have been screened for quality, budget efficiency, social impact potential, strength of leadership, realistic goals and timeline and strategic partnerships.
  • Confidence that filmmakers and project directors have access to strategic support from Fledgling staff and our core partners to help maximize their project's social impact.
  • A tightly managed relationship width each grantee to monitor progress, outputs and impact milestones.
  • A commitment to assess and document the social impact of each funded project that is based on The Fledgling Fund's social impact framework outlined in its working paper "Assessing Creative Media's Social Impact".
  • An innovative way to engage people in the social issues about which you care the most.
