PLEASE DONATE TODAY
Something beautiful is happening in your community and we need your help!
Your donations are tax-deductible. DeSoto Arts Institute is a 501c3 non-profit.
We are dreaming big, no doubt. But we believe great things are in the works and just waiting on us to get moving.
Imagine a place where anyone can learn to write, act, shoot, or produce film or theater. Imagine having access to a fully-equipped sound stage in your local community. Imagine a recording studio staffed with producers and engineers with decades of experience producing music legends. Imagine motion picture directors, cinematographers, and VFX supervisors teaching you and your children how to work in the industry while staying true to who you are.
Imagine what you could do to help. Now stop imagining and join us. Please consider a monthly or one-time donation.
Film School Giving
We would love for you to sponsor students from your own organization! This gives us the chance to bring our production knowledge to local ministries and faith-centered businesses as we pour into the students they sponsor. Do you have a student in mind that you would like to sponsor? You can specify in the form below.
Don’t have a student in mind? We will always have more students than we do funding as our main goal is to give a premium film education to each student at no cost to them. Consider giving to our scholarship fund to help us continue in that mission. Your donation will help shape the next generation of filmmakers.
General Giving
DAI is raising money for several DeSoto Arts Institute programs including the Desoto Film Festival taking place in March 2023 and its new Film School Certificate Program. Regardless why you are donating, we appreciate you and your gifts. Please note on the donation if there is a specific program you are donating to or if it’s a general donation.
Secure Donations via Stripe are sent directly to DAI.
