Funding Resources and Other Opportunities

Teri Rogers Film Grants
Inspiration Grants
ArtsKC Inspiration Grants are an investment in human capital, providing direct support to individual artists and arts professionals for projects and activities that have the potential to advance their careers and build their capacity for future work. These projects exemplify risk, growth, and change. Visual, music, theatre, literary, dance and interdisciplinary projects are the primary focus of Inspiration Grants.

WIFKC Fiscal Sponsorship
Kansas City Women in Film & Media wants you to make time for your art, not the paperwork necessary to fund it. With their fiscal sponsorship, you can solicit tax-deductible donations and apply for grants without going through process of launching a 501(c)(3). KCWIFT’s fiscal sponsorship program is open and accessible to all of their members, no matter their artistic discipline, and sponsorship is not contingent upon our judgment regarding projects’ artistic quality or merit of your work

Missouri Stories Scriptwriting Fellowship
The Missouri Stories Scriptwriting Fellowship is an international competition for screenplays and television pilot scripts with story lines set in Missouri. Three writers’ scripts will be chosen. Winners receive an all-expense-paid trip to the concentrated fellowship experience, held in Missouri. Submissions for each session open in the fall.

Film Society KC Grants / The Robert Altman Emerging Filmmakers Fund
Every year the Altman Fund sends up to 4 qualified candidates through Kansas City’s Artist INC program, which seeks to give artists the tools to better fulfill their creative business goals. The Film Society pays for these classes in the form of education grants so the recipients can go for free. Additionally, the Film Society seeks to raise money through fundraisers and events to give cash grants to filmmakers in the KC and surrounding area so they can better realize their cinematic visions.
