The 36th CIFF Challenge Match

Thank you in advance for participating in the 36th CIFF Challenge Match. The challenge to you - our audience - is to raise $75,000, which will then go twice as far because it will be matched by Cuyahoga Arts & Culture. The Challenge Match is our annual campaign and, therefore, it is the only time of year that we ask for your support (we do not send out solicitation letters around the holidays or any other time of year).

Your donation will be used for Film Festival operations, which include staffing, Program Guide printing, theater rental, film rental, and guest travel and accommodations. In essence, your seat in the theater really costs the Film Festival $38.04. You can help make up the difference between your ticket cost and our cost by making a donation to the Challenge Match.

Be sure to stop by the Challenge Match area (located in the lobby of Tower City Cinemas) whenever you visit the Film Festival. Once you make your tax deductible donation, you'll be able to enter our drawings for prizes and pick-up this year's collectors' set of lapel buttons. Because of your commitment to the Cleveland International Film Festival, we look forward to not just reaching, but even exceeding our goal this year. Thank you!
