GURL GRANT

 
 

Power to the People!

GURL GRANT was founded by Kat VanCleave in 2025 with the simple mission : get more money into the hands of Female & Non-Binary Film Directors. Twice a year, cold-hard cash…

“I want directors to feel empowered by, not beholden to money. I want more stories being told by diverse voices and this grant is just the beginning of what I hope to contribute to the badass community that is indie film. “ -Kat
