Mission and Program Overview

Mission

We rely on the goodwill of the community through volunteer employment time, labor, and fiscal donations.

Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
Deep Water Films created the concepts for ten, separate educational documentary films. Two of the most urgently important documentaries were selected to pursue immediately. "No Violation" aims to explore cyber crime, survivors of victimization, and the aftermath of the violation, including recovery resources. "For Love of Chocolate" explores ethics of the lives and rights of farmers in the chocolate trade, as well as methods of cultivating a more sustainable future. We are already far along in development on No Violation. We have 12 interested public-facing individuals who have agreed to be featured on-screen. We have a Doctor of chocolate who has agreed to be featured on-screen. We have been approved to be fiscally sponsored by Fractured Atlas.$0$0

ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt0Our business has suffered several unfortunate setbacks due to my own serious illnesses. I am required to have another operation on my spinal cord. We were recently assisted and advised by legal experts that we had only registered our organization via the State of California, and not with the federal government via the IRS. We sought to immediately correct this error.
