Creating Positive Change Together
Story Money Impact is a registered Canadian Charity creating positive change at a time where the world seeks more clarity, purpose and good. We actively engage courageous filmmakers to refine and amplify their messages for systemic change through impact strategy, education, and partnerships with constituents. Through awareness this leads to thought leadership, action and empowerment of individuals and communities creating a powerful catalyst for change.
We need your support to fund programming for the changemakers of today to help all of us create a brighter tomorrow.
Our Values
Savvy: We are driven by creativity and impact. We’re smart, courageous, fiscally responsible and socially-driven.
Collaborative: Match-making is our core function! We know that collaborating and connecting is the only way things get done.
Trusted: We aim to be the trusted and respected match-maker that connects independent media creators with the allies who can help them: non-profits, philanthropists, academics, civil servants, community organizers, etc...
Impact Work Creates Connections
Increasing connections between those passionate about the power of film for positive social change
We advance research and education around media impact, and bridge the philanthropic and media communities. Bringing together storytellers, funders, thought leaders, and new audiences creates benefits individually and collectively as we endeavor to create a more just society. We believe that independent media-makers, when galvanized with strong impact strategies and supported by aligned partnerships can reach key constituents to build empathy and action toward social and environmental well-being.
“When someone sees a documentary about someone with a different lived experience, it is the most intimate and effective way to promote a democratic conversation in this country”

Impact Campaigns
Not all documentary films hope to change the world. But for those that DO, a well thought out strategy with specific change goals can help activate and focus resources. Impact Producers garner financial and human resources, and connect with the people, organizations, institutions and audiences so that courageous stories can become tools for positive change.
Story Money Impact helps educate, coach, and execute impact work for Canadian documentarians.
