Donor Benefits and Recognition
Jewish Story Partners’ donors help us stimulate and support the highest caliber independent films that blunt antisemitism by expanding the Jewish story. With your help, we have quickly become a leading source of support for Jewish documentary film, awarding $3M and 375 hours of advising to 100 films over our first three years, and seeing two of our grantees land on the Oscar shortlist. To express our gratitude, we provide the following benefits for individual donors:
$10,000+
Donors who support JSP at the $10,000 level or above will be included in all donor listings, including our website, press releases, and wherever donors contributing at the equivalent level are credited. Donors at this level also receive invitations to occasional events and screenings as opportunities arise.
$25,000+
JSP Film Club
Donors who support JSP at the $25,000 level and above are invited to become members of our exclusive JSP Film Club. This includes:
Sneak-Peek Film Links: online links to view JSP-funded films before they are released (at least 2x/year)
In-Person Screenings and Gatherings: invitations to intimate in-person screenings and community gatherings (at least 2x/year)
Special events and opportunities as they arise.
$50,000+
Named Artist
Each year of donating at the $50,000 level, donors will have the opportunity to select a film from a shortlist of grantees suggested by JSP. The selected film will be given an additional $2,500 award named for the donor or the entity of their choosing (for example: The 2025 Rothschild Artist.) The award will be listed in press releases, newsletters, on the JSP website, etc. Where practicable, JSP will coordinate at least one meeting between the donor and the filmmaker of your selected project.
$100,000+
Academy Screenings Weekend
Come to Los Angeles in December to join JSP co-founders for exclusive Academy Award qualifying screenings*, a visit to the Academy Museum, and lunch with JSP filmmakers at the Academy’s Cafe, Fanny’s.
*Each fall/winter members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (including JSP’s co-founders Roberta Grossman and Caroline Libresco) are invited to attend (and bring a guest) to special qualifying screenings —often followed by filmmaker talk-backs and private receptions. These screenings help Academy members decide which films they want to vote for in the Academy Awards process. JSP will help facilitate your travel arrangements.
