About This Cause
Women In Film is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting equal opportunities for women, encouraging creative projects by women, and expanding and enhancing portrayals of women in all forms of global media. Given that women comprise 50 percent of the population, WIF’s ultimate goal is to see the same gender parity reflected on and off screen. Founded in 1973, WIF focuses on advocacy and education— provides scholarships, grants, and film finishing funds—and works to preserve the legacies of all women working in the entertainment community. Our educational programming includes a Speaker Series, featuring filmmakers and industry leaders across many areas of entertainment, who share valuable insights into the art and craft of film, television, and media-making; the WIF Film Finishing Fund (FFF), a highly-respected grant program that has awarded millions in cash and in-kind services to over two hundred films from countries all over the globe; the WIF Scholarship Program—offering women of all ages and backgrounds the opportunity to create careers in film, television, communications, and new media—by awarding scholarships to female students at major film schools in the Los Angeles area and other parts of the country; the WIF Mentoring Program annually provides 80–100 members the opportunity to learn from experienced entertainment industry professionals who share best practices and tools of the trade; the WIF/Black List Episodic and Feature Labs sponsored by go90 advancing women writers in television and film; and the WIF PSA Production Program that selects nonprofit organizations in Southern California to receive a pro bono PSA. Women In Film members hone their craft and expand their skill set while helping local charities get the word out about their invaluable work.
