Introducing Shark Island Foundation

Upskill An introduction to Shark Island Foundation – a new Australian philanthropic foundation dedicated entirely to supporting and funding documentary in Australia

Do you have a project in development? Are you looking for new funding opportunities?

Shark Island Foundation is a private philanthropic foundation, the first of its kind in Australia, dedicated exclusively to funding documentary filmmaking in Australia. 

Due to launch in March 2022 – the Foundation is looking to back outstanding stories that can add to the national conversation, and help create a healthier and more just society. 

In this session, Chair Ian Darling and Executive Director Kate Hodges will outline the vision and purpose of the foundation, the type of films they hope to back and how they’ll do this.

Join Shark Island following the session at the Shark Island Afternoon Tea (RSVP required) to meet the team and chat about your projects.
