What they do
Film Festival Program The Carmel International Film Festival Provides A Platform and Stage for Hundreds of Independent Filmmakers and Brings Many of Them Together for A Five-day Community Celebration of Their Artistic Accomplishments. Although The Five-day Festival is Focused On Screening Independent Film, The Carmel International Film Festival Also Includes Educational Seminars Designed to Help Young and Upcoming Filmmakers Further Their Careers. The Objective of These Educational Panels is Twofold: Help Young Filmmakers Navigate An Increasingly Difficult Media/film Landscape, and Provide Insight On How to Collaborate Effectively to Bring A Project to Fruition. Making Films is Hard, and It Requires A Broad Skill Set to Be Successful. We Strive to Provide Education On Some of Those Skills. We Estimate That We Reach Hundreds of Filmmakers, Students and Other Industry Professionals. Exempt Purpose Achievements:Celebrating Women In Film While Female Focused, The Carmel International Film

Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Worth asking: Expenses exceeded revenue this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event. The complete report shows the exact difference and financial history.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
