Sundance Documentary Fund
The Sundance Documentary Fund is a key program of the Documentary Film Program, dedicated to supporting U.S. and international documentary films that focus on current human rights issues, freedom of expression, social justice, civil liberties, and exploring critical issues of our time. The Documentary Fund was established at Sundance Institute in 2002 with a gift from the Open Society Institute and is supported by a leadership grant from the Ford Foundation.
Documentary Fund grants are announced 2-3 times a year and between 2002-2006, the Fund has disbursed almost $5.2 million to over 175 projects in 52 countries. In supporting such work, the Sundance Documentary Fund encourages the diverse exchange of ideas crucial to developing an open society, raising public consciousness about human rights abuses and restrictions of civil liberties, and fostering an ongoing dialogue about these issues.
SDF Grant Categories
The Documentary Fund now considers projects in four categories—Development, Production and Post-Production, Engagement* and Impact.*
Development grants provide seed funds to filmmakers whose projects are in the early research or pre-production stage. Grant award is up to $20,000. A previous directing sample is required. (If no directing sample is available, a creative visual work indicating the director's artistic point of view and storytelling ability is required).

Longer cuts and fine cuts can be submitted if available.

*Engagement grants are awarded to innovative distribution and audience engagement strategies. Available to previous grantees only.
*Impact grants support on-going work on the issues by the filmmakers. By invitation only.
