Our Mission

Daniel Gerson

The Daniel Gerson Memorial Fund for the Arts was founded to create social change by supporting underserved youth in pursuit of their filmmaking aspirations as a way of celebrating Daniel and his values. 

At the core of our mission, we’re committed to providing life-changing opportunities for students at not-for-profit organizations that educate the young filmmakers of tomorrow. We continue to be so moved by the incredible support Dan’s fund has received.
