Alexandria Film Festival Participates in Spring2ACTion Fundraiser
On April 24, 2024, Spring2ACTion, the annual online fundraising event for Alexandria charities will take place. As an all-volunteer organization, the Alexandria Film Festival (AFF) relies on the support of our community to fund all of our programs. That means the AFF would literally be impossible without you!
We typically screen more than 60 films and bring 50+ filmmakers to Alexandria from all over the world. Our festival is a celebration of independent filmmaking and provides a rare chance to learn about filmmaking and engage in a discussion full of diverse and dynamic ideas.
The festival will be conducted live and in person again this year. It’s a lot of fun but we have to raise the funding ourselves. It is a daunting task that would be impossible without the support of friends like you.
There are cash prizes for the organizations that raise the most, but we really care more about strength in donors than dollars. Clearly both count, but your gift of any size will make all the difference to us! Our goal is to raise $3,000. We are a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit, so all donations are 100% tax deductible. Click here.
The AFF plays a unique role in enhancing the quality of life and culture in our city. This is the ONLY time of year that we will ask you–our individual friends and patrons–to support us with your charitable contribution.
Thank you and see you at the AFF in November!!
