CAMPAIGN ANNUAL FUND BACKGROUND
Beginning in 2017, Outfest undertook the development of a bold new Strategic Plan in response to the global expansion of production and content platforms; the increasing calls for inclusion from within the Entertainment Industry; and our Nation’s growing disparity across the socio-economic-political landscape. In 2020, we began to implement that plan.
Please consider joining our Legacy Circle of supporters for this ground-breaking and innovative initiative to build Empathy across our Nation. Outfest set a first-round fundraising goal of $500,000 by the end of 2021. Funding will help us build the critical groundwork, acquire the resources and begin blueprinting our new programs.
