Dear Friends, 

As 2008 draws to a close, we here at IFFBoston are reminiscing about a year that brought another successful festival and summer screening series while keeping a watchful eye on the future. We are a 100% volunteer run non-profit organization, and blood, sweat and tears only go so far in making the festival you’ve grown to love possible each year. We need your help. 

Against the backdrop of recent economic developments, we know this is a challenging year for all of us. In such difficult times, we hope that you will make the support of local arts a priority in your giving and help The Independent Film Festival of Boston continue to provide an excellent cultural experience for you and our community. 

This holiday season we’re asking you to help ensure the experience IFFBoston represents continues to flourish and grow in our uncertain economy. This fund drive is a direct way for you to support IFFBoston and our efforts to bring you the best that independent film has to offer. 

We’re asking our supporters to give in a manner that is meaningful to them, with an emphasis on participation over the absolute dollar amount. An amount of even $20, $50, or $100 can help guarantee another amazing festival season when April 2009 rolls around. 

As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, all donations are tax-deductible, and you will receive a note for tax time. If you’d like to give your donation as a gift, we’ll gladly send a gift card notification to your recipient. 

We look forward to seeing you all in the New Year and thank you for your continued support. 

Sincerely,
The Independent Film Festival Boston Staff 
Jason, Adam, Brian, Nancy, Christine, Dan and Scott

P.S. A Special Offer - if you give $1,000 or more by December 31, (and you’re accessible by T), the IFFBoston staff will personally come to your house and serenade you! That’s right, the same people who tell you where to line up every April will grace either your doorstep or that of the person to whom the gift was made to show our sincere gratitude.
