Grant Updates For Film Funding

A very special thanks to the Ashtabula Foundation for their $10,000 grant pledge towards the filming project! We also received a very nice $500 dollar donation from the Kinsman Historical Society. It is so nice to have so much support for this project coming from Northeast, Ohio.

We still have a number of grants filed we have not heard back from yet. With some organizations the process can sometimes take 6-8 months before we get a response. We did file grants with seven other foundations, but did not win those. Its a very competitive process and we know this going in. However we are not discouraged. 

We are currently are waiting responses from the following:
Tom E. Dailey Foundation
Ashtabula Community Development Fund
America Honda Foundation

We are always on the lookout for more grants and are filling out applications to file in August for the following grants:
CSX Foundation
The Arthur Vining Davis Foundation
Cinereach
American Society of Mechanical Engineers
American Society of CIvil Engineers
IEEE Foundation
National Endowment for the Humanities
Northrop Grumman Foundation
Jim & Vanita Oelschlager Foundation
The Harnisch Foundation
The Global Film Initiative
GAR Foundation

We will also be launching a corporate funding campaign with incentives for corporations to donate to the project. I hope to have this finished in the next few weeks and then start going after these. Funding a film is a long hard road, but we have done it before. Some just take longer then others. :-)

Stay tuned for more updates.
