Like most labors of love, the Down the Fort Documentary and Archive Project has its costs. Many have been borne by our gracious Partners at Mass Humanities. And by our families. And by the Project Team itself.

As we enter the final stages of completing the Project’s developmental phase, we are opening ourselves up to the monetary assistance of friends, businesses and patrons to help us get the job done.

Here is a list of what we need to get done between now and the end of 2011:

Documentary:

Post-production costs

Color balance and quality check

Distribution costs

Internet Archive:

Final productions costs

Website maintenance

Annual hosting costs

When you click on the photograph or support button above, you will be taken to the website of our fiscal sponsor, Documentary Educational Resources (DER). The very good people at DER provide the shelter necessary to give our project 501(c) tax-exempt non-profit status. This in turns makes donations the Down the Fort Project tax-deductible.

Your click will take you directly to DER’s “Donate” page. This page lists in alphabetical order the film and video projects that DER is currently helping to shepherd into existence. We are humbled to have the Down the Fort Project be listed among these amazing sounding projects.

As you scroll down this page, you will find a brief Down the Fort Project blurb and image, alongside  a “Donate” button. Clicking on the “Donate” button will take you into DER’s protected and secure donation pages, where you can choose to support the Down the Fort Project in any way and in any amount that you choose. The money goes directly into a separate Down the Fort bank account, and directly into supporting our efforts to move the Project along.
