Davey Grants

The Davey Foundation supports emerging filmmakers with financial grants (valued up to $5,000 each) and gear grants (valued at up to $10,000 each, provided by Film Exchange). Grantees also receive mentorship from experienced filmmakers, including Sundance Film Festival alums Dustin Guy Defa (Person to Person) and Kenny Riches (The Strongest Man).

The next Call for Submissions will open June 2021.
