Ford, Skoll, Compton foundations launch fund for visual storytelling
By PND | August 6, 2021
The Ford, Skoll, and Compton foundations have announced the launch of a donor collaborative to help strengthen the impact of moving image storytelling.
Seeded with more than $8 million in commitments from the three foundations, the International Resource for Impact and Storytelling (IRIS) aims to raise and deploy up to $30 million in support of communities worldwide — including in Latin America, the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia — that are reclaiming narratives by advancing climate solutions, promoting democracy, amplifying women's achievements and leadership, and investigating the root causes of inequality. To that end, the ten-year initiative will coordinate donor resources to build international networks in the independent moving image ecosystem that foster deeper collaborations between civic leaders and content creators — funding aligned organizations, research, and creative content appearing across traditional and digital platforms.
