Transformative Storytelling
To counter the enormous amount of pessimism, dissension, misinformation, and the fracturing of trust that has eroded our country’s confidence in traditional institutions and each other, we are investing in compelling, human-centered storytelling projects that have the power to reveal hidden narratives, nurture our common bonds and shared humanity, raise awareness about promising solutions, and amplify young people’s voices.
Introducing the GrownKid Podcast
On the heels of their hit Teenager Therapy podcast, co-hosts Gael Aitor and Kayla Suarez, both 21, are diving into the real challenges of navigating young adulthood with raw conversations and expert advice on mental health, careers, and life skills. We are proud to support GrownKid along with Joy Coalition. Listen on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.
We seek to partner with values-aligned investors and filmmakers
to support content that is integrated with SFF’s programmatic grantmaking strategy and can serve as a force multiplier to help us realize our mission of creating greater opportunity, accessible to all. We endeavor to execute impact campaigns alongside the films and in partnership with our grantee partners to extend the life of the storytelling projects, widen distribution and achieve maximum visibility and reach.
