Unrestricted Gift
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit film exhibition and education center, Bryn Mawr Film Institute relies on community support. Your unrestricted gift will help BMFI meet its most urgent funding needs, which include everything from maintaining our little section of the Main Line’s historic architecture to crafting programs that build community through film culture. All gifts are tax deductible to the full extent of the law.
The magic of the movies takes place in the seats, with individuals gathered in community with friends and strangers, immersed in the story unfolding on screen. There are few things more impactful in our building than the comfortable seats in which our viewers take that journey. Celebrate your appreciation of that experience by sponsoring your very own seat!
Whether you leave your mark with your own name or honor another who loved the movies, show your support for Bryn Mawr Film Institute by sponsoring a theater seat. You will be contacted to select the specific seat on which we should install your plaque. Your generous donation will go towards the operation of our historic theater and will forever register what a special place film has held in your life. Thank you!
