Our Mission
The Documentary Film Fund is dedicated to promoting educational and cultural equity by supporting documentary storytelling that sheds light on underrepresented histories and creative legacies. Our mission is to ensure that these vital voices continue to inspire, inform, and connect across generations.
Through dedicated fundraising and advocacy, the Fund supports the development, production, and distribution of films that foster interdisciplinary learning. By cultivating long-term partnerships with educational and cultural institutions, we help extend the reach and impact of Heritage Film Project’s work far beyond the screen.
