Thank you to our generous donors for your ongoing support of the Middlebury New Filmmakers Festival!
The steadfast generosity of our many donors has sustained the Middlebury New Filmmakers Festival for over a decade, enabling MNFF to become a prominent, internationally recognized showcase for emerging filmmakers from around the world. Whether they come to us from Vermont, or the Northeast, or elsewhere in the United States or any of more than 60 other nations, we are forever grateful to our community for affording us the financial ability to present this joyous and lively event every summer.
We would like nothing more than for you to continue that unstinting support, either through ongoing monthly contributions or large annual gifts or prize underwriting. Join us as we continue to nurture and grow this world-class Festival. Help us build our endowment that will make the Middlebury New Filmmakers Festival a permanent part of the non-profit arts landscape in our amazing community. Let’s work together to secure the future as we welcome new generations of passionate filmmakers to Middlebury. We would be delighted to have your donation and look forward to recognizing your gift.
The donation box above comes to us from Zeffy, a prominent platform used by over 100,000 non-profit organizations. MNFF recently teamed up with Zeffy to offer secure online donations. We love Zeffy because it is fee-free. Every dollar that you contribute to MNFF goes to MNFF. Unlike other platforms, Zeffy charges us nothing. That’s right – nothing! Just kindly leave them a “tip” when you donate, if you can. It’s that simple. You will automatically receive an IRS-related acknowledgment to recognize your gift and you will receive an email receipt.
For those who prefer donating with checks: If you would like to support our Festival’s general year-round operations, please make your check payable to MNFF, Inc. If you are contributing to our travel fund for visiting filmmakers, please make your check out to MNFF Travel Fund. Checks should be sent to our mailing address at MNFF, P.O. Box 604, Middlebury, VT 05753. You will receive an acknowledgement from our Festival team. MNFF is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with EIN #471462141. All donations are tax-deductible.
