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!

Advantages of Underwriting

When your organization underwrites the WVIFF, you help support an important local film arts asset, and provide your business or organization with a significant marketing advantage at the same time.

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.
