At the end of 2017, the Foundation for WIFT-T received a generous donation of $5,000 from Hollywood Suite to support the impactful career development that WIFT-T provides women in the screen-based industry.

And, if that wasn’t enough, Hollywood Suite also announced that the Foundation would be the recipient of a special holiday gift-matching campaign: any new funds raised in December, up to $10,000, would be matched dollar-for-dollar. WOW!

To help us reach our goal, we came to you—our community— and with your incredible support, we surpassed it! $10,578 was raised between December 1-31.

We at Hollywood Suite are ecstatic to have surpassed our fundraising goal, and are inspired by Canadians’ commitment and generosity to this initiative – what a way to kick off 2018! We are at a cultural crossroads, and hope that this positive step will help elevate the voices of women in our field, and contribute to creating safe and equitable work environments for all.

~Ellen Baine, VP, Programming, Hollywood Suite.
