Enriching Community and Culture Through Documentary Film
At the Raymond J. Christensen Foundation, we support independent documentary filmmakers on their journey to tell powerful stories.
In honor of Ray’s passion for projects dealing with collaboration, community enhancement, and learning, we focus on funding films which embrace these values.
Our Grant
Do you have a story to tell?
By awarding grants to support the filmmaking process, we help emerging artists based in Minnesota share their stories and promote new human paradigms. From post production to distribution – we believe a filmmaker should be afforded every opportunity to explore, evolve, and develop their work. If you’re an independent writer, director, or producer working on your first or second documentary – then we want to hear from you!
