Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
Driftseed's fiscal sponsorship program allows artists to seek much needed grants and solicit tax-deductible donations under Driftseed's 501(c)(3) status. Driftseed provides administrative support and oversees the distribution of funds to ensure that funded activities harmonize with Driftseed's mission to create work that empowers women and girls globally.1. WALK A MILE"Walk A Mile" is a 26-episode documentary web series for women's economic empowerment. Social entrepreneur and adventure traveler, Mallory Brown, will walk a marathon, one mile at a time, with 26 working women around the globe. Each episode steps into the daily life of a woman fighting for a better life and showcases how women are the key to pulling their communities out of poverty. All 26 episodes will end with a call-to-action where viewers can join the movement to help working women globally.1. Walk A Mile Walk a Mile is produced by Travel Mal LLC, an impact production company. Travel Mal creates philanthropic campaigns that connect audiences to incredible causes and empower viewers to help. In seven years, Travel Mal has worked in 23 countries around the globe and directly helped thousands in need. Our work shares stories of real human kindness and inspires the next generation to live a passionate, global, and generous life. 2. BREAK THE CHAINBreak the Chain is a feature-length documentary film that addresses the often "hidden-in-plain-sight" issue of Human Trafficking within Michigan communities and the United States. Produced and Directed by Laura Swanson, the film chronicles two survivors of Human Trafficking within Michigan communities - providing a detailed look at how trafficking goes unnoticed within our backyards. Kwami, a child survivor of Labor Trafficking, was enslaved for nearly five years with three other children in Ypsilanti, Michigan before anyone noticed. Debbie, a survivor of Sex Trafficking, takes us through her experience of being sold for sex around the Detroit-Area between the ages of 13 and 18. Accompanying the stories of these survivors are nearly 20 interviews with researchers, Senators, non-profit organizations, legal service agencies, law enforcement officers and several artists actively working to raise awareness for this global issue. The film teaches us that what we see in the media about human trafficking is one small sensationalized form - that it occurs anywhere and everywhere within our world. More importantly, viewers will learn how we are all connected to this extremely profitable business and that we have the power to choose what we support, and ultimately, how we break the chain.--
