Our Mission

Philanthropy Project is an exciting, ambitious nonprofit initiative funded by the John Templeton Foundation (www.templeton.org). Our mission is to enhance America's culture of generosity by inspiring and enabling every man, woman, and child to become a philanthropist. We are accomplishing this by using the moving image to tell the untold stories of our nation's 72,000 foundations and their innovative good works ... along with the stories of citizen philanthropists who are "giving and glowing" in their communities nationwide.

Philanthropy Project is funding three groundbreaking initiatives:

• A) An inspiring, philanthropy-themed, family-friendly motion picture that is being produced in partnership with Anonymous Content in Hollywood;


• B) A Web TV channel in partnership with AOL that aspires to be the #1 destination on the Internet for all things related to American philanthropy;


• C) A Filmanthropy Scholarship Competition that is being held at six of America's top-ranked film schools.
