It is our great pleasure to announce the 15th Annual Zonta FilmFest, hosted by the Zonta Club of Newport Harbor Foundation, at the beautiful Marion Knott Studios at Chapman University’s Dodge College of Film on Saturday, April 26, 2025.
The Zonta FilmFest, the only film festival in Orange County that combines women-only film makers with a community fundraising campaign, is a tremendous advertising opportunity for businesses interested in attracting women customers, plus being a wonderful philanthropic donation.
Your sponsorship will showcase your business to 150+ powerful women in Orange County, and will benefit two immensely worthwhile causes that directly impact women and girls in Orange County. 100% of the net proceeds from FilmFest go directly to fund the following:
The Zonta Award for Women in Film
In the past 15 years, Zonta has provided over $126,700 in scholarships to female film students at Dodge College. Last year, Zonta Club of Newport Harbor donated $24,000 to women film makers at Dodge College. As noted by the Geena Davis Institute, “Media wields a significant influence on how we think and define our place in society. Girls and young women need role models on screen: they need to see themselves in the stories that surround them if they are to achieve gender equality, and their capacity for leadership is to be recognized and encouraged.” Supporting women filmmakers is key to making this happen.
Working Wardrobes
For more than 30 years, Working Wardrobes has been helping people overcome barriers to gainful employment. The nonprofit’s Rebuilding Careers program includes career navigation, readiness and development, as well as professional wardrobing. More than 125,000 individuals have been helped since Working Wardrobes opened its doors. Funds raised through Zonta Filmfest will be directed to women in Orange County needing help to get back on their feet.
