Charitable Donations
We are continually evolving to grow our vibrant community and our emerging creative interests. Your sponsorships (businesses) or donations (individuals and foundations) help bring meaningful media arts and creative programming to Southwestern Ontario, inspire artistic excellence and diversity, and enrich the cultural life of the region.
To make a charitable donation and receipts a tax receipt immediately, visit our page on ZEFFY, a safe and secure way to make a charitable donation in Canada. Unlike Canada Helps and PayPal, Zeffy does not charge fees to the charitable organization. Instead, fees at Check-out are “optional” to the donor so the choice is always yours.
Business Sponsorships
All of our programs rely on contributions from local businesses, community organizations, and corporate sponsors. Sponsorship is a wonderful way to connect with Windsor Centre for Film, Digital Media and the Creative Arts, Film Camp for Kids & Youth, Plugged In Seniors & Youth, Master Shot Summit, and other great programs. As a sponsor, you can engage with the wider artistic community in Ontario and promote your business.
Sponsorship packages are customized and may include:
- Logo on our website
- A feature in our digital marketing materials (such as our newsletter or social media)
- Recognition in the Media Arts Building or online
- Other as requested
These benefits are designed to promote you or your business as a local arts supporter of the MACC.
You can also make a business sponsorship through ZEFFY. AS check-out specify that would would prefer a business over a charitable receipt.
Volunteer
Have fun, gain experience, and get creative with us!
We have many volunteer roles, and we invite you to support your local digital media and creative arts community.
To inquire about volunteer opportunities, please get in touch with us at team@windsorfilmmaking.com or info@filmcampforkids.com.
Volunteering is an excellent way to meet people and contribute to the Southwestern Ontario film and arts communities. Our volunteers have fun, create lasting partnerships and friendships, and they have behind-the-scenes access to our community events.
Spring Break, Summer Camp, and Year-Round Classes
Prior to covid, Film Camp for Kids & Youth ran throughout the year, with week-long programming during the Winter, March, and Summer breaks. Right now we are rebuilding the year-round program as we are under construction. There are various programs, including film, visual arts, animation, photography, creative writing, LEGO stop motion, and more. Volunteers support Instructors with the children’s creative crafts and projects, lunchtime supervision, and act as role models for camp-goers. If you wanted to make educational videos from home that is always appreciated – we can go over the format with you. Camp is an excellent opportunity for growing leadership skills!
Event Volunteers
You can volunteer to participate in a variety of community events throughout Windsor-Essex County, such as the Kingsville Highland Games, Networking Nights, Garden Party Events, Halloween Event, Holiday Events, Oscar Dinners, Film Screenings, and more! We are looking for people to help promote and work at craft days for children and others for seniors so let us know if this is appealing to you. Volunteers are notified of the events as they approach. We are also looking to launch Classical Movie Nights this winter 2024 and looking for people to help plan these.
Brochure Distribution
Volunteers can help to promote and educate citizens about the many opportunities available to all ages by placing brochures, rack cards, and bookmarks in public libraries, recreation centres, senior centres, and various public spaces. Hours are as flexible as you can be available.
Mentor or Intern with Us
Working closely with local business owners and media professionals, students have an opportunity to develop their skills under the supervision of an experienced mentor who will guide them on creative and entrepreneurial decisions. The mentorship program is designed to give students and young professionals one-on-one guidance to build a network and skill set in the creative arts. We are offering a new Mentorship Weekend on March 7. Mark your calendar and stay turned for new information. If you would like to be mentored, or be a mentor, email us at: team@windsorfilmmaking.com.
