FUNDING

Funding for Percolator Films is provided by the Edelstein/Berkson Family Fund at the Evanston Community Foundation; Evanston Arts Council; Illinois Arts Council, a state agency; MacArthur Fund for Arts and Culture at the Richard H. Driehaus Foundation; Illinois Humanities Council, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Illinois General Assembly; the Mammel Foundation; and many individual donations.


The Reeltime series was previously administered under the umbrella of the Evanston Public Library, but is now solely a program of Percolator Films.

DONATIONS

DONATION INFO Donation_info.html

The current economic climate makes fundraising a great challenge for us.  Although funders have continued to support our programs, grant awards have been reduced due to our funders’ own budget cuts.  Your donation – in any amount – helps us continue programs like the free, community-based Reeltime film and discussion series.  We also welcome donations through matching grant programs that many employers offer.  Donation info >>>


Please consider making a tax-deductible donation – YOUR SUPPORT COUNTS!
