Sponsorship Opportunities

Fireside Foundation, Inc.

PROGRAM SPONSOR

VARIABLE

Continued operation and expansion of many of the programs that are offered through the Fireside Foundation, Inc., depends on the financial support of sponsors. Programs such as the Kids with Cameras program require the purchase of cameras, film, development services, in addition to the time expended by photography instructors, classroom teachers, and space from exhibition facilities.

WORKSHOP SPONSOR

$1,000.00

and up

During the course of a year, the Fireside Foundation offers workshops on various aspects of film and television production, from screenwriting to make-up/special effects, from acting for children/teens to directing actors and acting for adults. In addition we offer presentations on the newest and latest in equipment and techniques. Sponsorship of a workshop puts your name on all promotional materials for the workshop and all the attendees..

KIDS WITH CAMERAS PROGRAM

The Program, distinct from the Festival, provides still cameras and film to children in low income schools to be used in conjunction with their classroom curriculum. This acts as the "do" section of the "see - hear - do" educational foundation, reinforcing the information provided through classroom study and outside reading. In its first year, the program served 40 kindergarten students, and is working to expand from that level. If you want to help, contact KWCPROGRAM@Kidswithcameras.com.
