Help us make this film.
?Where is the Church?Become part of the crew.
Becoming a supporter gives you behind-the-scenes access to the making of the film: time with the film crew, exclusive updates, and a say in how the film gets made.
You’re not just a donor. You’re on the crew.
Crew calls every other month with the people making it.
IncludedEvery dispatch from the road, including the ones only the crew sees.
IncludedIn the credits, the way you want it to read.
IncludedAnswer the question of the week. Some answers end up in the film.
IncludedYour pass, the next call, the dates, all in one place.
IncludedYour own link, and a count of everyone you bring.
Included$136,000 in. $364,000 to go.
Each block is $5,000 of the film.
A thousand people giving $50 make a tenth of it. That’s how this gets made: one gift at a time, all of us together.
At $100 you host a premiere in your living room or parish hall, a week before the world sees it.
SAt $1,000, make it a feast. After the screening, sit down to a supra: a long table, toasts, and a tamada from American Supra leading it. You ask, and American Supra supports it.**Your gift covers the tamada, coordinated by American Supra. Food, drink and the venue are up to you. Limited nights, where American Supra has tamadas.

Good questions.
Is my gift tax-deductible?
Yes. Gifts go through First Things Foundation, a 501(c)(3) (EIN 45-5185734), and are tax-deductible to the extent the law allows. Zeffy emails you a receipt.
What happens after I give?
You set up a username and password, and your supporter home opens right away. If your gift takes a few minutes to show up there, that’s normal.
How do monthly gifts count?
We count a monthly gift by its yearly total. $10 a month is $120 a year, which makes you a Premiere host; $85 a month makes you a Supra Host. You can stop a monthly gift any time.
Can I stay private?
Yes. You only show up on the community wall if you switch it on, and you can be listed in the credits as anonymous.
Where does the money go?
Into making the film and getting it seen. Your supporter home shows the budget act by act, and which part of the film gifts are paying for right now.
I’m thinking about a larger gift.
We’d love to talk. At $10,000 you have a hand in production and distribution, and at $50,000 you join the film as an Associate Producer, both with a conversation with the producers. Write to us and they’ll get back to you.
