About Us
Media for Action is a nonprofit organization that supports and coordinates independent media that highlights social, cultural and environmental issues. Media cannot be truly independent while subject to the constraints of a commercial endeavor or corporate, political or religious bias. Media For Action is dedicated to helping filmmakers tell the stories that reveal the truth behind the issues that face our societies, and provide a deeper insight into our global community. Once we are aware of the issues that affect our communities locally and globally, we are morally obligated to act. Learning about global issues is the first step to developing the skills you need to have a lasting impact. In the end, the extent of our impact on a specific global issue will depend on our capacity to create meaningful and sustainable change.
Media for Action’s objective is to generate a philanthropic cycle of giving, emphasizing education, and supporting organizations that deal with issues of human and environmental importance. 
Media for Action is managed by a Board of Directors that guide the creative direction of the organization and support independent filmmakers.
**PLEASE NOTE: Media For Action does not produce, own, or endorse any of the content in the projects we support.
Media For Action sponsors filmmakers and provides volunteer support for their projects. ***
