This is an online portal with information on donations that were announced publicly (or have been shared with permission) that were of interest to Vipul Naik. The git repository with the code for this portal, as well as all the underlying data, is available on GitHub. All payment amounts are in current United States dollars (USD). The repository of donations is being seeded with an initial collation by Issa Rice as well as continued contributions from him (see his commits and the contract work page listing all financially compensated contributions to the site) but all responsibility for errors and inaccuracies belongs to Vipul Naik. Current data is preliminary and has not been completely vetted and normalized; if sharing a link to this site or any page on this site, please include the caveat that the data is preliminary (if you want to share without including caveats, please check with Vipul Naik). We expect to have completed the first round of development by the end of July 2024. See the about page for more details. Also of interest: pageview data on analytics.vipulnaik.com, tutorial in README, request for feedback to EA Forum.

50,000.00 | 1 | -- | Arts | https://knightfoundation.org/grants/5712 | -- | Grant period: 04/01/2013 - 03/31/2015; part of the challenge: Knight Arts Challenge 2019; goal: To support global black cinema through a film festival that will also feature a short screenplay contest The BlackStar Film Festival is a highly visible platform for independent black filmmakers, providing genre-defying and beautifully crafted works to an audience thirsty for fresh perspectives. With challenge funding, the film festival will expand to include a short screenplay contest, where emerging writers can compete for a chance to have their work read during the festival and judged by a panel of industry professionals. The winning screenplay will be awarded a cash prize to produce the short film. BlackStar will also begin streaming exclusive short films on its website monthly, in 2014, building an archive of work that can be used for education or entertainment. The BlackStar Film Festival, deemed “the black Sundance” by Ebony magazine, is the only event of its kind in Philadelphia. Focusing on cinema of the African Diaspora, the four-day festival provides an opportunity for filmmakers, patrons, and enthusiasts from all over the world to come together. |
