Conservation Media Group offers several Film Grants for those who build collaborative partnerships and create effective videos for conservation in our three focus areas: providing sanctuary for marine life, reducing ocean plastic at its source, and transitioning to a low-carbon economy.
Conservation Media Group Action Grants range from $5,000-$10,000. CMG Action Grants support projects that use video to create measurable impact in our focus areas. CMG seeks filmmakers and organizations of all ages and experience levels as potential grantees. Our focus for these grants is on short films created to make impact in healthy oceans or renewable energy solutions. We’re seeking proposals with innovative styles, like a new audience, user-generated content, or VR360 projects. We also have applications open for our wWorkshops, which often lead attendees to more funding for their projects.
Conservation Media Group Filmmaker-In-Residence Grant – Conservation Media Group selects emerging or established conservation communicators as Filmmakers-in-Residence (FIRs) who then receive funding to complete work from start to finish on a video-based project with a focus on providing sanctuary for marine life, reducing ocean plastic at its source, and transitioning to a low-carbon economy. Funding amounts range from $5,000-$15,000 per resident. FIR’s also receive residence at one of our annual 5-day Catalyst Workshops and may be offered up to 2 weeks in residence at our CMG offices in Camden, Maine.
