Mission Statement

Film Independent’s mission is to champion creative independence in visual storytelling in all its forms, and to foster a culture of inclusion. We support a global community of artists and audiences who embody diversity, innovation, curiosity and uniqueness of vision.

Why Donate Crypto to Film Independent?

At Film Independent, we champion bold, original storytellers through our filmmaker labs, robust international initiatives and extensive education programs, while building audiences for independent work through Film Independent Presents screenings and the Film Independent Spirit Awards. We are committed to supporting independent and unique voices, particularly those who still do not have equal access – BIPOC, women, LGBTQ+ and filmmakers with disabilities. Through making a crypto donation to Film Independent, you have the power to make a lasting impact. Each and every donation is meaningful and directly results in our ability to sustain our year-round programming and support a community of artists who are leading the way to a more equitable future. Supporting independent voices takes allies and we thank you for being one of them!

Save on Your Taxes by Donating Crypto

Why Donate Crypto Directly? Taxes!

There’s a reason high net worth individuals tend to donate property instead of cash. Donating cryptocurrency directly to a 501c3 nonprofit is more tax efficient and can save you money.

The IRS classifies cryptocurrency as property for tax purposes which means it is typically the most tax efficient way to support your favorite cause. When donating crypto, you receive a tax deduction for the fair market value of the crypto, and you avoid the capital gains tax you would have incurred if you had sold the crypto and then made a donation. That means you’re able to donate more, as well as deduct more on your tax return. The difference? Sometimes more than 30%.

If you provide an email, you will automatically receive a tax receipt after donating.
