Creating a major new fund
Tipping Point Film Fund aims to encourage a different kind of dedicated giving to films for change.
We want to grow a core donor base of around 3,000 dedicated givers to commit to a minimum £10 per month. When you sign up as a regular giver you become part of Tipping Point Film Fund’s 360° regular giving network. You will be joining a group of people who – like you – believe in the power of people and film to make change.
Additionally, we are seeking 500 individuals, fund angels, who can commit £1000 annually to Tipping Point Film Fund. Securing this level of committed giving means that we will be able to significantly fund two to three films and campaigns in any given 12-18month cycle. This makes each of our fund angels one of 500 very special donors.
Combined, these supporters make up the whole of Tipping Point Film Fund’s 360° regular giving network. Together, through this network, we can raise a production and campaigns fund of around £1million. We can make a very big difference with such a new stream of support for challenging films.
At the same time as building our network of supporters we are building relationships with other organisations as a way of securing additional development and production funding for specific projects. We are working closely with the not for profit sector in the UK and overseas; international film funds; traditional film industry funders and ethical businesses.
Last but not least the fund will benefit from the support of major donors who believe in the power of film for change.
Will Tipping Point fully fund a film? One day…
Overall, our target will remain ambitious as we would aim to contribute approximately 60% of any given budget (combined production and international campaign outreach). This enhances the likelihood of securing co-production funding.
Whatever the production funding contribution Tipping Point Film Fund can make to any given film, assuming this figure is less that 80% of total budget, Tipping Point Film Fund will not release its contribution to unless it is confident that sufficient funds have been secured to cover the total production budget.
The more you give, the more we can support.
Giving. Watching. Campaigning.
