A DONATION REQUEST
I work on the Moshe Rynecki project because I’m passionate about my great-grandfather’s artwork and because I want to share the story with others.
One component of the project is the documentary film. This is a really big – no, huge – project, and very expensive. My time on the project comes free, but I have to pay for things like film crews, sound people, cameras, hard drives, transcription of interviews, film editors, and travel expenses (and that’s just the short list of items!).
In order to raise money for the film, I’ve established a relationship with The National Center for Jewish Film. As my fiscal sponsor they do not pay any of the expenses of the project, but they serve as a non-profit tax-exempt umbrella organization that accepts and administers contributions made to the Chasing Portrait film project. This fiscal sponsorship allows me to solicit and receive tax deductible donations from individuals and gifts from foundations without having to create a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation.
My agreement with The National Center for Jewish Film is that when the film is completed, that it will premiere at their film festival.
Still with me?
