The Bertha BRITDOC Connect Fund, a joint initiative between Bertha Foundation and BRITDOC, is the first European-based outreach and engagement fund, and is open to filmmakers from around the world.
The fund is looking to support smart, strategic outreach campaigns for ambitious independent documentary films with a social issue at their core; films which have the ability to achieve real change on a local, regional or global level.

For example, our funds could support:
- Funding a strategic summit with potential partners including media, NGOs Foundations and Campaigners, to identify target audiences and brainstorm how best to use the film to augment existing campaign strategies.
- The development and production of school curriculum packs.
- Support for design and build of innovative online tools to enhance audience engagement.
- Funding for the re-versioning of the feature documentary into shorts, which could be used on multiple platforms including online and on mobile devices.
- Funding for strategic screening tours: through schools, universities and relevant community groups, for political or corporate lobbying.
- Support for an outreach staffer to action the outreach plan, book the screening tour and act as point person between the filmmakers and NGO partners.
- Support for evaluation analysis, capturing data on the social impact of the film.

What we DO fund:
- Strategic outreach campaigns for completed or almost completed films

What we DON'T fund:
- Development funding
- Production funding
- Completion funding
- Traditional distribution
- P&A spend
