Pavan Goutham Rudravaram Film Director - Canada We wanted to create this project to explore a war theme or message that we felt passionate about, whether it's raising awareness about an issue, telling a personal story, or simply expressing our creativity in a unique way.

Official Selection 2024 - Dollars That Make Sense animation short film

Image
  Dollars That Make Sense  This animated film was Produced by Elizabeth Killough (Co-CEO of the UnTours Foundation) and Rich Hoffmann (Founder and Director of 215 Timelapse) outside of Philadelphia, PA, USA with a small team of origami artists, musicians, and animators. Over a trillion dollars sit in foundation endowments most often working against those foundations’ very missions. It’s an outlandish system that foundations use only 5% of their assets annually to address their missions, investing the other 95% with no regard to their missions losing a tremendous opportunity for more impact.  Where else in life is 5% considered  enough? By bringing the numbers to light through this fun film, we hope to gain the attention of  foundations and donors to change this paradigm. Foundations are praised for the good things they support. But people need to see the dark side of foundations and inspire foundations to activate the other 95% to fulfil their missions and ...
