For 30 years, Reel Asian has opened doors for filmmakers, artists, and audiences. Now we’re inviting our community to take part in 30 for 30 — a simple idea with big impact. If 30 people each raise $3,000 (or more, even $30,000), we can expand our offerings: more films on screen, more artist support, and a sustained festival for years to come.
When you start a fundraiser, you’re not just collecting donations. You’re building an enduring platform for Asian and Asian diasporic voices to thrive in the film and media landscape.
Every dollar you raise helps:
Start a fundraiser, rally your friends, set a goal, and make real change.
The future of Asian storytelling depends on people who take part. What will you help make possible?
Set up a personal fundraiser on your preferred fundraising or social media platform and choose your goal — $300, $3,000, $30,000, or anything in between.
Email us to let us know about your campaign and to request our logo pack.
Share why Reel Asian is important to you — a film that stuck with you, a community you care about, or the impact of supporting Asian storytellers.
Send your fundraiser to friends, family, coworkers, and your networks. Post it on social media and keep the momentum going. Don’t forget to tag Reel Asian and we can boost too.
Let supporters know how close you are to your goal and thank them along the way. A quick update often brings in more support.
After your fundraising event, make your donation through elevent.
If you would like to be recognized for your contribution, please check the “Dedicate this donation” box and leave the name of the event. Your fundraiser will be recognized on this page and our donation page. Tax receipts will be issued for donations over $10.
