As an Individual

WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT NOW! The Seattle Jewish Film Festival (SJFF) owes its success to the generous support of our many donors. Thanks to this support SJFF - now in its 14th Annual year, is recognized as a major cultural arts institution in our area and is a highly anticipated annual cinematic exploration and celebration of Jewish life, culture and history. The Seattle Weekly praises SJFF as one of the best ethnic film festivals, with a breadth and diversity second only to the much-touted Seattle International Film Festival.

If you would like to make a donation in support of the Seattle Jewish Film Festival this "donate now" link will take you to the American Jewish Committee Seattle Jewish Film Festival donation page. AJC will process your online gift and then direct 100% of your donation back to the Seattle Jewish Film Festival.

SJFF grants Community Partners the opportunity to sponsor films, suggest speakers and participation in programming.
