Story House Ithaca brings people together to share, study, create, and enjoy stories in all their forms.

Story House Ithaca brings people together around stories. We define “story” very broadly, to include fiction and nonfiction, poetry and song, documentary, journalism, photography, audio, film, theater, puppetry, visual and performance art, graphics, dance, and every other way of communicating ideas and experience. Our definition of “house” is also broad. We hope eventually to settle into our own space, but for now we’re excited to be popping up around the community.

**The Problem**

Our society is going through a period of fracturing, as people of different socioeconomic, cultural, and educational backgrounds divide into ever more insular groups. One reason for this is a lack of opportunities for people to interact in meaningful and non-threatening ways. This has had disastrous consequences in politics, public health, and many other areas.
  
 **Our Approach**

- Story House creates. We dream up, organize, and present workshops, discussions, readings, talks, screenings, exhibitions, performances, participatory projects, and other activities. 
- Story House collaborates. We work with organizations, artists, activists, scholars, and others to plan and present compelling programming. 
- Story House connects. We help creative people and groups find new partners and reach new audiences. 
- Story House empowers. We help members of our community acquire the skills they need to tell the stories they want to tell.

In all our programs and activities, we are committed to creating inclusive spaces that welcome diversity. We strive to foster interactions between people of different cultures, ethnicities, and socioeconomic backgrounds, with the goal of working toward shared understanding and a more equitable, anti-racist society.

Helping artists actualize their vision since 1965!

Intersection for the Arts is a bedrock Bay Area arts nonprofit that’s dedicated to helping artists grow. Through vital resources, including fiscal sponsorship, low-cost coworking and event space, and professional development programs, we empower people to continue creating, thinking big, and taking weird and wonderful risks.

We believe art and culture are necessary elements of wellbeing. That’s why we serve people working in the arts—from artists to educators to administrators to funders.

We take the stance that artists should be at the top of the systems that were originally created to support their work. Art institutions would not exist but for artists’ creativity, sweat, blood, tears, and enormously generous hearts. We support those who take matters into their own capable hands and make their own opportunities. We stand by artists every day in their efforts to make our communities better, healthier, more exciting and dynamic places to live our lives.

A creative studio of writers, composers, and filmmakers on mission to awaken the human heart to experience God's love and truth

Would you partner with us by giving an end-of-year donation? 

Watch video [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJKzp2uihTk). 

Young people today spend one-third of their day in front of a screen, and the majority of these young adults will stop attending church by College.

**Hollywood content has grown darker and darker.** A recent study found that over 80% of top-grossing films now feature explicit violence, occult themes, or sexual content.

It’s no longer entertainment; **it’s worldview formation.** And the next generation is being shaped by it.

What are we as the church doing in the wake of this crisis in our culture? 

How are we working to replace the stream of dark entertainment that is leading millions to depression and hopelessness?

[http://www.firelightcp.com](http://www.firelightcp.com/)

**OUR VISION**
We are a studio of writers, composers, actors, and filmmakers creating content for screens and stages to fight against Hollywood’s lies with the power of truth.

**OUR MISSION**
We create truth-centered stage and film productions that carry the presence of God into homes, theaters, and digital spaces, revealing God’s heart and offering a powerful alternative to Hollywood. We equip creatives to tell stories that challenge culture, exalt truth, and point people to Jesus.

**WHAT THIS $175,000 WILL ACCOMPLISH**

Over the next 12 months, we’re launching a content engine:

- Writing our next three productions.
- Hosting our fourth annual Creative Conference.
- Cinematic shorts designed for maximum impact on social media. These powerful, scroll-stopping 5–60 second clips will feature:
    - Story moments from existing films
    - Original scores and voice-overs
    - Evangelistic, artistic, and emotionally compelling messaging

This phase is not just content creation; it’s brand and mission establishment.

**WHAT THIS WILL ALLOW US TO DO**

✅ Attract Views: Repurpose completed films into reels and shorts tailored for Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.

✅ Position Us for Studio Partnerships: We’re already in conversation with several faith-based studios actively looking for content. These shorts show them what we can do and pitch our next several full-length films.

✅ Fuel Our Nonprofit’s Sustainability: With this digital reach, our nonprofit will gain visibility and increased audience support to attract the next major wave of funders and studio partners.

Reach A Hand Uganda (RAHU) is a youth-centered nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering young people with the knowledge, skills, and opportunities they need to make informed life choices. Founded in 2011, RAHU focuses primarily on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR), ensuring that young people across Uganda have access to accurate information and quality services.

Our SRHR work includes HIV/AIDs awareness and prevention, information and access to modern contraception, livelihoods, safer sex options, and comprehensive life skills development.

We operate in more than 53 districts across Uganda, engaging youth ages 10–19 and 20–30, who are faced with SRHR challenges. We partner with young people living with HIV, refugees, youth whom are in- and out-of-school, and those living with disabilities. We also work closely with men—as users and advocates of family planning, champions, and satisfied users a—recognizing their critical influence on reproductive health decisions within families and communities.

A cornerstone of our impact is our national network of **836+ trained peer educators**, who lead community mobilization, SRHR information sharing, and have a significant impact on service uptake. Their efforts are supported by interpersonal communication agents who promote male involvement in family planning, including informed uptake of vasectomy.

Our digital communications hub, **SautiPlus**, amplifies RAHU’s work by creating and disseminating youth-friendly SRHR content to millions of young people and the adults who influence them—parents, teachers, cultural leaders, policymakers, and more.

**Our Vision:** *A world of young people making informed life choices.*

Veterans Collaborative increases access to resources and opportunity at the local level for those who have served our Nation. 

**We believe that local** **access changes everything**—because those who served shouldn’t have to fight for support that meets them where they are.

**We believe the strength of our nation is reflected in how we care for those who’ve served it**. Too often, Veteran and military-connected communities face fragmented systems, underfunded local resources, and missed opportunities to thrive. 

**We believe that empowering Veteran-led nonprofits, investing in community-led innovation, and building trust-based networks from the ground up** will transform how support is delivered—closing the space between need and access.

**We believe that when Veterans lead, communities heal** and that when we collaborate, everyone moves forward.

- **Fiscal Sponsorship** – Full legal, financial, and administrative infrastructure for Veteran-led or serving charitable initiatives. Grow your project with our guidance and support. 
- Mission Forward **Leadership Circle** – Peer-based learning and mentorship groups for Veteran nonprofit leaders through our program, Mission Forward. 
- **RADAR Network** – Our Veteran Community Resource Platform that identifies, spotlights, and elevates local Veteran-serving organizations that are trusted and vetted. 
- **Local Collaborations** – Through initiatives like our Veterans Interstate Network, we foster cross-sector collaborations and and partnerships that build local ecosystems and directly serve high-impact but under-resourced nonprofits.

Educational media that ignites curiosity and long-term thinking through science, culture, and ideas shaping our shared future.

**Our Mission**
Accelerator Media ignites fearless curiosity and bold, forward-looking perspectives on humanity’s future through transformative storytelling. Guided by this perspective, we create compelling media that explores human potential, fosters global connection, and inspires a shared vision for the future we can build together.

**Our Vision**
We imagine a future where curiosity unites us, exploration—grounded in scientific humility—broadens our understanding, and long-term thinking shapes a collective path of discovery, connection, and possibility.

**Why Accelerator Media?**
In today’s media landscape, content is often designed to provoke quick reactions, amplify division, and reward short-term attention. This constant cycle of distraction is eroding our ability to think critically, reflect deeply, and engage with the complex issues shaping our shared future. There is a growing need for media that encourages curiosity, imagination, and long-term thinking—especially in an increasingly divided world.

Accelerator Media exists to meet this need. We produce thoughtful, curiosity-driven content that invites reflection over reaction and exploration over blame. Through our growing portfolio of original podcasts, we bring together leading voices in science, technology, and the humanities from around the world—fostering global dialogue, and inspiring audiences of all ages to think more deeply about our shared future. With support, we can expand our reach, elevate production quality, and make meaningful media more accessible to those seeking substance and connection in an increasingly fragmented world.

**Our Work**
Accelerator Media is building a dynamic portfolio of media initiatives designed to inform, inspire, and empower curious minds to become world-changers. Our core projects include:

●      **[Curiosity Entangled](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAmp64147-7jBCBttxtlQ1HeE2Nf2pVc6)**[ ](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAmp64147-7jBCBttxtlQ1HeE2Nf2pVc6)– *A* unique, non-hosted podcast bringing together visionaries from different disciplines for conversations driven by mutual curiosity. At the heart of our work, *Curiosity Entangled* exemplifies our mission by weaving interdisciplinary insights into a tapestry of discovery. These dialogues reveal unexpected connections, spark fresh ideas, and offer bold answers to humanity’s toughest questions.

●      **[Ignition Sequence](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAmp64147-7gQX6xSAT9wArswbB7Gdjen)** – A video podcast exploring the big ideas shaping science, technology, culture, and the humanities, and how they shape the future.

●      **[Go! For Launch](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAmp64147-7iU0d0Wxa145AioTck3xPf1)** – A podcast guiding young adults toward meaningful STEM careers, blending inspiration with practical insights from global experts and educators.

●      **Future Documentary Projects** – High-quality documentaries and cinematic explorations—around the world and beyond—that take deep dives into pressing questions about humanity’s future, including a planned docuseries evolving from *Curiosity Entangled*.

**Our Impact**
Accelerator Media launched its flagship podcasts, Ignition Sequence and Go! For Launch, to immediate success, garnering over 670,000 YouTube views and 1,500 subscribers in just the first ten weeks, demonstrating significant public interest. This rapid growth, driven entirely by volunteer efforts, validates the demand for content that explores profound questions and career paths in science, technology, and culture, and signals our potential for even greater impact as we expand.

**Primary Platforms**
Currently, Accelerator Media distributes content primarily through YouTube and leading podcast platforms like Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Google Podcasts. Our ambitious growth strategy includes future collaborations and distribution through major platforms such as PBS, Netflix, or Amazon Prime, especially for our documentary-focused project, Curiosity Entangled.

**The Need for Support**
At Accelerator Media, **we believe that knowledge drives the future**—shaping the ideas, innovations, and collective vision that will define humanity’s path forward. To produce this transformative content at scale, we need the financial resources to grow our team, enhance production quality, and expand our reach.

To date, all of our work has been accomplished by a dedicated volunteer team operating with minimal funding. This early momentum is a testament to the strength of our mission and the public demand for thoughtful, future-focused media. Now, to meet that demand and ensure long-term impact, we must transition from a volunteer-led effort to a fully supported organization with the capacity to grow.

With a fundraising goal of $1.5M, we aim to:

●      **Staff**: Hire producers, an education manager, and a marketing specialist to sustain and amplify our work.

●      **Operations**: Fund legal, accounting, and administrative essentials for stability and compliance.

●      **Production**: Boost quality for podcasts and documentaries, crafting stories that captivate and educate.

●      **Reach**: Expand globally through partnerships, digital platforms, and new media channels.

●      **Community**: Nurture a network of lifelong learners with evolving content, live events, and interactive forums.

**Why Your Support Matters**
Imagine a world where everyone embraces a century’s-thinking mindset and sees a path to shape tomorrow. A world where curiosity brings us together, exploration cuts through the noise of division and discovery unlocks the full potential of humanity.

That’s the future we’re building—with your support.

We invite you to ignite curiosity and inspire a future shaped by exploration and long-term vision. Your support empowers educational media that sparks curiosity, encourages critical thinking, and explores what’s possible for our shared future.

**Together, let’s spark the curiosity that shapes tomorrow.**

We empower refugees by helping them reclaim access to education, develop modern media skills, and pursue professional employment.

At ReFOCUS Media Labs, our mission is to empower asylum seekers and refugees by equipping them with modern media skills to overcome the challenges they face, such as limited access to education, language barriers, financial constraints, mental health support, skills training and job placement. 

US-BASED DONATIONS ARE 100% TAX DEDUCTIBLE

Through our three Media Labs (Lesvos, Athens, Krakow) workshops and original content productions on location (Amsterdam, Berlin, Athens, Krakow) we provide comprehensive education in photography, filmmaking, audio engineering, and graphic design. Moreover, we actively collaborate with our students in the production of impactful dramatic films and documentaries.

Established in 2017 in Lesvos, Greece as a pilot project when we supported the residents of the infamous Moria refugee camp. in 2019 we officially registered ReFOCUS Media Labs as a foundation in Poland, and started formalizing our work. In 2022 we expanded our efforts by adding new media labs in Athens (GR) and Krakow (PL).  Athens was established to support refugees who struggled to secure access to education and job placement in the Greek system, and Krakow was created to support the massive influx of Ukrainian refugees who fled to Poland after the full-scale Russian invasion. Our work throughout our global network of media creation labs demonstrates our commitment to empowering our community members, and ensuring they have a seat at the table in determining our present and future direction. 

Our mission is to transform lives through education, career training, and psychosocial support, and ultimately sustainable employment. 

In Greece, we primarily work with minors and young adults, who are either stuck in the asylum system or struggling to integrate after receiving minimal asylum protection.  In Poland, our focus groups are women and young adults who fled the war, and now put down roots in Poland.  A key highlight of our training is the creation of professional portfolios, an essential tool that enables our beneficiaries to effectively showcase themselves to potential employers. This part of our program is particularly important as many refugees arriving in Europe have faced educational disparities due to conflict, poverty or discrimination in their home countries. Even those who have a university degree often struggle to be recognized in Europe as education systems in their home countries often fail to meet EU standards. As a result, many higher education graduates are forced to adapt and accept employment well below their skill and education level. In most cases this leads to exploitation on the European labor market.

Our programming aims to break the cycle of disadvantage that refugees and asylum seekers encounter in the labor market. By providing a platform for our students to showcase their original work, share their stories, and employ them as teachers, lab coordinators and co-creators we empower them to become skilled professionals within the global media industry. But our work goes beyond the technical training by providing foundational support and safe spaces for people with refugee backgrounds to be accepted and flourish. Put simply, we treat the whole human being. 

Since our establishment in 2017, we have successfully certified hundreds of media students, produced feature films and music videos; internationally published original photography and graphic design, and collaborated with mainstream media partners on investigative reportage.

We've been featured in National Geographic, collaborated on investigative reports with Forensic Architecture, Human Rights Watch, BBC Newsnight, Aljazeera, the Guardian, and BBC Panorama, and also produce our own original podcast "Fractured", which focuses upon refugee issues and human rights violations in Europe and around the world.

What sets ReFOCUS apart is our dedication to mentoring students beyond the traditional classroom setting. We actively collaborate with our students to create compelling films and documentaries based on their own scripts and concepts. Since 2019 ReFOCUS has produced several films directed, filmed and edited by our students and alumni including  “Even After Death”, “Nothing About Us Without Us”, “Dancing Bells”, “Dead End”, Interview" and "Erantzun", all of which were written and directed by community members. 

“Stitches” - our latest film is currently in post production and will premiere in March 2024 at Movies that Matter Film Festival. Our films and work has been internationally recognised and showcased at prestigious film festivals worldwide, including the Human Rights Film Festival Berlin (DE), Movies that Matter Film Festival (Hague, NL), CPH:DOX (Copenhagen, DK), Melbourne International Film Festival (AU), Rotterdam International Film Festival (NL), IDFA (Amsterdam, NL), New Delhi International Film Festival (India), the World International Film Festival (Amsterdam, NL), and the (in)Justice Film Festival (Chicago, US) and many more. 

In recent years we have expanded to reach larger audiences and provide even more community members with employment and pathways to develop their own careers as freelance media creators. We also take a local approach to ensure the settled communities we work with have foundational support. A great example of this local approach is our Art Under Pressure Arts Festival, which was inaugurated in Athens, Greece (May 2023). The festival provided a platform for artists from Athens, both from within our community and the greater cultural community, to showcase their music, art, performance, design, photography, films and critical reportage on issues the community faces. In 2024 the festival will travel throughout Europe and North America in an effort to activate new local communities of artist who can learn from one another and create together. 

At the heart of our organization is a fundamental belief that individuals can make a difference in the issues they see in the world. Our extensive experience in the field working on the front line of the "refugee crisis" in Europe proves that civil actions can have a massive impact in the lives of people at risk, especially when media and governments claim otherwise. These challenges are not intractable, rather they are opportunities for us to think creatively, and work collectively to ensure we build the societies we know are possible. 

And so we remain committed to helping people with real lives in crisis develop the real skills needed to pursue the real futures they envision. No matter how many times the fast news frames people in need as "takers" and "burdens", we are proving every day that it is possible to cultivate givers who enhance and power our society into the future.

National human services organization. Our mission is to foster stability and resiliency, and provide a safety net for performing arts and entertainment professionals over their lifespan.

Founded in 1882, we serve all professionals—and not just actors—in film, theater, television, music, opera, radio and dance through programs that address our community's unique and essential needs.

Employment in any division of the performing arts and entertainment industry is unpredictable. Work is erratic, security is fleeting and health insurance is often just a dream. For all of these reasons and many more, The Actors Fund is an indispensable and deeply significant part of the entire entertainment community.

As a national organization with offices in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, we directly serve thousands of performing arts and entertainment professionals across the country every year, in person and via our online resources. Our programs are wide in scope, responsive in nature and produce significant results.

A catalyst for creative freedom and cultural vitality across the Arab world.

As the largest fund for independent artists and cultural institutions in the Arab world, AFAC serves the collective necessity to pursue bold ideas, reclaim space, and share stories from our region on our own terms.

Culture shapes how we see ourselves, how we remember the past, and how we imagine the future. Independent voices are being silenced by war, repression, and economic collapse. Youth, who represent the region’s largest demographic, are largely excluded from cultural production and denied platforms to shape their futures. The threat of talent drain and cultural fragmentation has never been higher.

Since 2007, we have supported over 2,400 projects across 22 countries and their diasporas, awarding over $40 million in grants. Our model sustains not only the production of art but the long-term resilience of the cultural ecosystem. 

AFAC stands at the forefront of expression—investing in independent storytellers, visionaries, and institutions who challenge convention, spark dialogue, and preserve the richness of our collective narratives. We must act now to preserve cultural sovereignty and ensure that artists continue to imagine, question, and build the future of the region.

Our support spans cinema, music, literature, performance and visual arts, documentary photography, research, and critical training, reaching emerging talents and established voices, from the heart of the region to the edges of the diaspora. 

AFAC is more than a funder. We are a platform for connection, advocacy, and continuity. Through open calls, mentorship, strategic partnerships, and direct support to institutions, we create ecosystems, for the region and by the region, that allow independent culture to thrive.

At a time when global attention often overlooks the nuance of Arab realities, AFAC helps ensure that our stories—rooted in diversity, contradiction, and creative force—are not just told, but heard, remembered, and felt. We invite you to imagine a world where every voice can create, connect, and contribute to the cultural future of the region.

**With your support, AFAC can:**

- Sustain and expand critical funding for artists and institutions
- Launch bold new programs in underserved geographies
- Build a long-term ecosystem for Arab cultural philanthropy

A national university that offers a wide range of disciplines, including fine arts, music, and visual arts.

Tokyo University of the Arts, a national comprehensive art university,  was established in 1949 through the merger of two institutions, Tokyo Fine Arts School and Tokyo Music School, both founded in 1887. At its inception, the university consisted of ten departments across two faculties: the Faculty of Fine Arts (comprising the Departments of Painting, Sculpture, Crafts, Architecture, and Aesthetics and Art History) and the Faculty of Music (comprising the Departments of Composition, Vocal Music, Instrumental Music, Conducting, and Musicology). It also included the University Library.



Over the years, the faculties have expanded and undergone reorganization, leading to the current structure of 14 departments across two faculties. The Faculty of Fine Arts now includes the Departments of Painting, Sculpture, Crafts, Design, Architecture, Inter-Media Art, and Aesthetics and Art History, while the Faculty of Music comprises the Departments of Composition, Vocal Music, Instrumental Music, Conducting, Traditional Japanese Music, Musicology, and Musical Creativity and the Environment. Additionally, the university features facilities such as the University Library, the University Art Museum, and the Performing Arts Center.



In 1963, a graduate school was established, which has since expanded to offer master's and doctoral programmes across four graduate schools: the Graduate School of Fine Arts, the Graduate School of Music, the Graduate School of Film and New Media, and the Graduate School of Global Arts.



In recent years, the university has been involved with art projects and other initiatives to address social issues through the power of the arts. 



Tokyo University of the Arts is located across four campuses: the Ueno Campus (its main headquarters) in Taito-ku, Tokyo; the Toride Campus in Ibaraki Prefecture; the Yokohama Campus in Kanagawa Prefecture; and the Senju Campus in Adachi-ku, Tokyo.



Tokyo University of the Arts has produced many exceptional artists, educators, and researchers in the field of the arts, spanning secondary to higher education. The university preserves the traditions and cultural heritage of Japan while embracing and integrating artistic ideas and techniques from around the world. 

Building on this rich history, the mission of Tokyo University of the Arts is to uphold the spirit of freedom and creativity that has defined it since its founding, to play a leading role in advancing art and culture in Japan and globally, and to collaborate with the wider society in creating diverse artistic values.



To achieve this mission, we have outlined the following goals:



• Provide art education at the highest global standards, fostering superior expertise and a strong sense of integrity among artists, educators, researchers, and all art practitioners.

• Promote the preservation of traditional culture and the creation of new artistic expressions, while collaborating with other academic disciplines and art education and research institutions both in Japan and internationally.

• Engage in activities that emphasize the importance of art in building a spiritually rich and dynamic society, create opportunities for people to engage with art, and contribute to society through artistic endeavors.
