Brown Girls Doc Mafia
Corey Ohama #MovesWithBGDM
I'm Corey Ohama - I have been a BGDM member for 5 years. I #MoveWithBGDM because it's a talented, inclusive, and thriving community that supports each other and also creates pathways to connect with the larger documentary community. Please help me reach my goal of $1,500 by donating $50.
ABOUT MoveWithBGDM
Move with BGDM - A peer-to-peer fundraiser
The future of Brown Girls Doc Mafia (BGDM) depends on the support of our allies, who believe, as we do, that women and nonbinary artists and professionals of color need to be nourished, uplifted, invested in.
Last year, Black women-led organizations received just 0.05% of the $69 billion made in charitable donations. Shocking, right? In order to secure BGDM’s future and continue moving towards an inclusive documentary film industry, we need your help!
BGDM is raising $250,000 to sustain our beloved programs. Did you know that:
-
Organizing and hosting industry panels and networking events = $5,000/event
-
Curating and distributing jobs and opportunities board for members = $12,000/year
-
Providing scholarships to help 15-20 members access festivals and industry events = $15,000/year
-
Hosting and maintaining our member directory & online community = $19,000/year
