Underwriting & Sponsorships

Advantages of Underwriting

We invite companies, organizations and individuals to consider underwriting the WVIFF to secure exposure while making a significant contribution to the local film arts. The fee paid by an Underwriter to the WVIFF is considered a tax-deductible contribution by the IRS. Underwriting contributions are a critically important source of operating funds for our organization and The Floralee Hark Cohen Cinema. We appreciate your help!

​As an investment in underwriting, WVIFF offers your business:

• ​An effective complement to ongoing advertising, public relations and marketing campaigns.
• An association with WVIFF, which strengthens public perception of your company’s commitment to the community and the quality of its products and services.
• Your company’s support of the film arts has a positive influence on an annual audience of over six thousand movie-goers to purchase your company’s products and services.

Sponsorship

You can help the West Virginia International Film Festival encourage, support, and promote the film arts by becoming a sponsor. Sponsorships are welcomed from individual, small business, and corporate donors, and we have sponsorship opportunities ranging from ad space in our pre-shows at the Floralee Hark Cohen Cinema to covering our special events or even sponsorship multiple levels of our annual film festival.

All sponsorship and underwriting inquiries should be sent to info@wviff.org.
