Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Grants for Science and Technology Storytelling

About this program

The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, in partnership with Film Independent, offers grants to support filmmakers in creating realistic and accurate stories about science, technology, and math. These grants aim to challenge stereotypes about scientists and engineers in media, with funding available at various production stages, including development, pre-production, and post-production. Eligible applicants are filmmakers with projects featuring scientific, mathematical, or technological themes, or a lead character in these fields, excluding science fiction and documentaries. Projects must align with Sloan's mission to promote accurate science and technology storytelling, and grantees are paired with science advisors to ensure scientific precision.
