Call for Documentary Film Proposals (USA)
The MacArthur Foundation
supports the production and distribution of social-issue documentary films that
address important contemporary topics and are intended for a broad audience,
particularly in the United States. The program seeks to fund documentary projects that address the significant
social challenges of our time or explore important but under-reported topics.
Domestic and international topics are welcome, and preference will be given to
projects that align with one of MacArthur's grantmaking areas.
Support will be provided primarily for production and post-production
activities, and to experienced filmmakers based in the U.S. with track records
of completing feature-length films that have been broadcast nationally and
internationally and received critical recognition.
Grants will be made only to eligible organizations. MacArthur does not make
grants to individuals and does not make grants through fiscal agents or
sponsors. In order to qualify for a MacArthur grant, a project must be applied
for through a nonprofit or for-profit incorporated entity that can claim it has
complete financial and editorial control over the documentary film project for
which it is seeking MacArthur support.
Applicants may request any funding amount, but the typical grant range is
between $50,000 and $200,000.
For the current round, initial online proposals will be accepted between July
15 and July 31, 2013. If a project is selected as a semi-finalist, the applicant
will be notified by September 1 and asked to submit a full proposal and detailed
budget. Funding decisions are expected in November.
