Logan Elevate Grant

About this program

Offered by the Jonathan Logan Family Foundation and administered by the International Documentary Association (IDA), the Logan Elevate Grant awards $30,000 to each of three grantees annually (total $90,000) and provides unrestricted funds plus story consulting, year‑long individualized professional development, and filmmaker‑guided public programming for feature‑length journalistic documentary projects. Eligible applicants are emerging women and non‑binary filmmakers of color directing feature‑length journalistic documentaries; selections are made from nominees. As of February 27, 2025 the program is under strategic review and applications are temporarily paused for the 2025 cycle; prospective applicants should contact funds@documentary.org or consult IDA funding updates and the Other Grants Directory for alternatives.
