MGLFF proudly celebrates its 10th anniversary this year, and a donor/member has stepped forward to pledge a much-needed $50,000 for our non-profit organization to continue into the next decade and beyond.

There’s only one catch... we need YOUR help to raise $50,000 first!

After raising $50,000, our Cultural Challenge donor will then match these funds dollar-for-dollar – to translate into $100,000. This will provide the crucial bolstering of MGLFF’s infrastructure and the opportunity to expand our mission of enriching, entertaining, educating and encouraging a sense of community through international and culturally diverse film, video and other media that give us a historical and contemporary perspective on the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender experience.

Our South Florida LGBT community is only as strong as its members and friends – and YOUR film festival needs your support!

Here's what these funds will mean to all of us:

Imagine building MGLFF nationally and internationally as a cultural and creative hub, where LGBT film artists, industry professionals and our members can come together in our world-famous tropical destination to discuss LGBT culture in a variety of contexts – much like a "LGBT Cannes Film Festival".         * We have plans ready to do this!

Experience much more as we Expand and broaden MGLFF's activities in Southeast Florida, providing new outreach film programs and social interaction for our LGBT audiences throughout Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties.

All of our dreams can happen if we strengthen the foundation of MGLFF's resources and capabilities including equipment, award prizes, film rentals, improved website in a time when MGLFF and cultural organizations like us are facing decreases in all levels of government funding.
