Greenlight the Next Generation

When you donate to The Peartree Foundation, you’re not just giving money — you’re empowering the next generation of filmmakers!

Today, many students with exceptional vision and promise are ready to enter the film industry, yet they face financial obstacles they cannot overcome alone.

To help remove those barriers, the Peartree Foundation has partnered with the San Francisco Film School to support the Golden Gate Visionary Scholarship Fund.

With your support more students have the opportunity to become filmmakers. 

Whether it’s $25 or $5,000, every donation goes directly toward scholarships, equipment, mentorship, and access to training for passionate, driven, underrepresented filmmakers and digital storytellers.

Your Impact

When donors contribute to the Peartree Foundation, they make one outcome possible: scholarships that allow emerging filmmakers to access a film education they otherwise could not afford.

Scholarships directly support:

  • Tuition assistance that removes financial barriers

  • Access to the San Francisco Film School curriculum

  • Entry into a professional filmmaking community

  • The chance for underrepresented storytellers to begin their creative journey

Ways to Give

  • One-time donation

  • Monthly recurring donation

  • Corporate or foundation sponsorship

  • Matching gifts (Your company may match your contribution, which means your gift could go twice as far.)
