Founders Circle
Part membership, part donation, Founders Circle is an opportunity to make a meaningful charitable impact while getting unique access to Hot Docs events and programming.
Experience exclusive access and special events with Hot Docs Founders Circle.
We’re excited to relaunch the Founders Circle program with benefits designed to bring you closer to the stories and causes you care about. New benefits include a private film class led by our executive director, Diana Sanchez, and a special reception during our upcoming fall Curious Minds Festival.
Plus, we’re now offering monthly payment options so it’s easier than ever to support Hot Docs in a way that works for you.
To help grow the next generation of documentary supporters, we’re introducing a new membership level for individuals under 40, with all the core benefits of the advocate level at a reduced rate.
Join our community of documentary lovers.
A tax receipt for the maximum allowable amount will be issued for every donation.
If Founders Circle is out of reach this year, there are so many others way to stay involved and show your support. Consider combining a Memberships or Doc Soup with a Donate to Hot Docs.
