Bring Your Big Idea to Life

BYF Microgrants fund STEAM-based social impact projects from the minds of youth across America. From art supplies to software subscriptions to research equipment, we want to hear how we can help bring your big idea to life.

“I teach screenwriting, cinematography, acting, and editing, equipping young minds with the skills they need to express themselves through film. At the culmination of the program, their collective efforts result in a short film that will premiere at the NC Black Film Festival this May, providing them with a platform to share their stories and perspectives.

I am guided by a commitment to social justice, equity, and empowerment. Through the arts, I believe we can foster empathy, ignite dialogue, and affect meaningful change in our communities and beyond.”
