THIRD ACTion Film Festival launched it's inaugural festival in June 2018 and has adapted to the Covid pandemic by offering online screenings. One of our long term plans is to tour the festival across Canada.

THIRD ACTion has been funded through grants and sponsorship (in-kind and cash) to date. It recently formed a Fund Development Committee, who wishes to take the festival to the next level by creating a 3 year fund development plan that would include the areas of donations, sponsorship (cash and in-kind), grants, social enterprise options, and Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission funding.

THIRD ACTion is also undertaking strategic planning in August/September 2020 and the fund development plan will be driven by the strategic plan and vision.

There is the opportunity for an individual student or group project to assist the Fund Development Committee in the creation of this 3 Year Fund Development plan. This would include activities related to:

• Gathering information on our past fundraising efforts
• Analyzing our past efforts/strategies as compared to industry best practices
• Evaluating the current climate
• Setting goals (strategic and financial)
• Creating objectives that will allow us to meet our goals
• Create a timeline
• Determine how we will evaluate our progress

The final goal of this project is a written report that addresses all of the bullet points above.

We are looking to have this project undertaken sometime between November 1, 2020 and April 2021.
