Funding Search Challenges: –Funding amount –Library vs. Education 5 possible grants As a group, we decided on the Booth Ferris Foundation

Booth Ferris Foundation Affiliated with JPMorgan Bank Focus on New York City Supports arts, culture, education, civic affairs Between $50,000 and $200,000 –Spend more on technology –Expand to 3 branches Application requires project overview, detailed budget, and organizational financial documents

The Program Mission & Goals: Target Audience –Getting Permission (parental permission & film rights) Staffing (storytelling buddies, librarians, industry expert) Materials

Lights, Camera, Action Timeline Classes –Example of page to screen activity Final Screening Evaluation

Budget

Budget Resources Apple Store Staples Motion Picture Licensing Corporation BAM theatre tickets Brooklyn movie theatre Office Max Printing Domino’s Post Office Networking

Budget Considerations Last piece of puzzle Multiple versions to fit grant chosen 1 vs. 3 branches Narrowing down vague costs – ex. film consultants Including all costs Last minute supplies – ex. kids choose books

Potential Problems Length of program Participant commitment Enrollment (too many/too few) Cooperative learning Technical difficulties/abilities Staffing Will this actually work?
