As a federally recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, Sidewalk is made possible each year in part because of our annual fundraising events, which offer attendees a chance to kick back and have a blast while also supporting their favorite film festival. Proceeds from these events directly benefit not just the festival itself but also Sidewalk’s year-round educational programs including Book + Film Club, Beyond the Screen Media Literacy program, Sidewrite Screenplay Competition, Sidewalk Scramble, Youth Board, panels, masterclasses, workshops, and other educational programming.
