The International Vegan Film Festival amplifies vegan-themed filmmakers and cookbook authors. We need your help to continue putting on our impactful online and in-person events. IVFF is a nonprofit organization that seeks to be the world’s leading showcase for vegan films that encourage a vegan lifestyle. Check out our festival’s inspiring trailer here !

Know that no donation is too small, but we are suggesting a donation of $40 if you’re able.

We are raising funds to bolster the International Vegan Film Festival. The truth is that it takes more than ticket sales and sponsorship alone to run the event. So for us to keep going, we need you! The funds for this Spring campaign will directly promote the Festival to the vegan-curious, programming costs, the hardworking individuals that put on the festival, and rewards for our award-winning filmmakers.

Here are some examples of how and where we could be utilizing your donation:

• $40 covers the film entry fee for disadvantaged filmmakers and those from developing countries.
• $50 - covers the international shipping charge to send Vegan Cookbooks, allowing us to have international judges. 
• $150 -  covers the monthly stipend for one of our interns
• $250 -  a month's worth of phone, internet bills and vegan hot chocolate needed to spark connections to create a community around vegan-themed films and cookbooks
• $500 - Linkedin fees for a weeklong job posting for board members or staff
• $1,000 - covers the monthly cost to run our Google Ads Grant, a program where Google gives $10,000 if Google Ads fee to qualifying nonprofits.
• $5,000 - covers years fee for one IVFF Emerging Filmmaker Fellowship position
• $10,000 - covers the prize money the Festivals awards to contest winners
• $20,000 - covers a substantial promotion campaign that spreads awareness of the Festival to vegan-curious people and encourages them to attend the IVFF in person or virtually.

Your donation means getting more compelling vegan-themed films in front of audiences around the world through both in-person and virtual events. Films have a dramatic impact in making people seriously consider going vegan by educating and inspiring in a way that other mediums do not. Think of your own journey; chances are that films and coming together with like-minded people likely helped inspire you to make meaningful changes in your life and keep them!

What better way to keep hope and motivation alive than to give whatever you can towards an event that spreads the news of a sustainable vegan lifestyle and rewards the work of many hardworking vegan filmmakers, chefs, authors and festival curators.

We appreciate YOU keeping our festival going!
