WHY DONATE TO THE SFFF?
YOU make the Festival happen!
The costs of booking films and renting our venues (to name only our two most essential expenses) increase every year and our tickets sales cover only about half of our operating costs, which we keep as low as possible thanks to our tireless volunteers, bighearted in-kind sponsors, and our Board of Directors’ efficient management. The Sacramento French Film Festival depends on support from our sponsors to bring the highest-quality films to Sacramento while keeping event pricing affordable to a wide audience. Your contribution enables the SFFF to continue its tradition of high-quality, fun, and thought-provoking events!
We offer wonderful opportunities to support the Sacramento French Film Festival. Whether you are a business or an individual; whether you are interested in making a cash or in-kind contribution, there is an option that is right for you!
