    Gratitude Revealed
    ABOUT THE PROJECT

    LOGLINE
    An epic journey forty years in the making, GRATITUDE REVEALED takes us on a transformational, cinematic experience of how to live a more meaningful life full of Gratitude.

    SYNOPSIS
    In a world reeling from pandemic and succumbing to hatred and fear, GRATITUTE REVEALED helps us discover the good, opening our eyes to the gifts that bless us each and every day.

    Directed by Louie Schwartzberg, GRATITUTE REVEALED takes us on a journey forty years in the making. We uncover the many facets of gratitude, and see their practical application in the everyday lives of Louie’s subjects.

    A rug weaver teaches us mindfulness, an aerobatic pilot conveys focus, and a jazz musician’s backyard barbecue illustrates connection. An eclectic collection of thought leaders and personalities, such as Norman Lear, Luisah Teish, and Alex Grey, guide us through this transformational experience, unearthing a fresh, positive, perspective on life, creating a communal cinematic event unlike anything we’ve ever seen.

    The Film Collaborative (TFC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to providing programs and services for independent filmmakers. TFC’s federal tax ID number is 32-0295081. All donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.

    Support a TFC Fiscal Sponsorship Project

    Please help support this project with a tax deductible contribution. The “donate” button below will take you to PayPal, but a PayPal account is not required to make a donation. You can check out 2 ways:

    1. Use your PayPal account
    2. Check out as a guest by selecting “Donate with a Debit or Credit Card” (no PayPal account is required)

    Transaction Fee

    Please consider covering the PayPal transaction fee by selecting the “I’d like to add to my donation to help offset the cost of processing” box on the next page. This will ensure your intended full donation amount will be received for the project.

    Alternate Donation Payment Methods

    If you prefer to donate by check, Zelle, ACH, or wire transfer, please email us for instructions.

    Stock Donations

    TFC accepts stock donations. By donating stock that has appreciated for more than a year, you are giving 20% more than if you sold the stock and then made a cash donation, since you will not pay capital gains taxes on the donated stock. Learn more here.

    Please email us for instructions to donate stock to a fiscally sponsored project.

    Donor Advised Fund (DAF) Donations

    A donor-advised fund, or DAF, is like a charitable investment account for the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations. TFC accepts DAF donations and is on file with most major DAF companies. Provide your DAF TFC’s Tax ID: 32-0295081. If we are already on file with your DAF company, they will process the donation.

    If TFC is not already on file with your DAF company, please email us for instructions.

    Tax Receipts

    In compliance with IRS rules, tax receipts for your charitable gift are issued for the amount The Film Collaborative receives after payment processor fees are deducted. The Film Collaborative emails tax receipts in PDF format within 30 days of your online donation. The “receipt” that is immediately sent to you from PayPal after you donate is just a payment receipt, not the tax receipt.

    Matching Donations

    Many companies have matching gift programs and can help you double your donation to a project of your choosing. Sometimes these programs will match a donation up to a year after it was originally made! Check with your employer—if they have a matching gift program, they will provide you with instructions.

    End of Year Giving

    November, December, and January are big giving months each year. Donors top up their annual giving in November and December. January is a new fiscal year, and some donors start their giving for the next fiscal year early. Some donors even give at the end of the year and again in January since these donations fall into different fiscal years.

    Donors tend to make their large year-end donation decisions before the holidays start. In 2024, that means before December 20. TFC can accept donations by wire, ACH, and Zelle until 5:00pm Eastern Time on December 31. Online donations by credit or debit card can be made until 11:59pm Pacific Time on December 31.
