Optimist's Fundraiser
Progress Is Possible
At Optimist, we believe stories have the power to ignite meaningful change in the world. Your donation helps us create these stories – award-winning documentaries and education campaigns that change minds, policies, and lives in service of a more empathetic and inclusive world.
Give today to drive measurable impact across these eight interconnected issue areas.
Because of supporters like you:
- This is Not Financial Advice is giving financial literacy resources to more than 40,000 educators (and counting!)
- Abundance: The Farmlink Story is raising funds to provide food to communities in need. Over 72.4 million lbs to-date!
- Champions of the Golden Valley is breaking the stigma around refugees and highlighting the power or sport to unite us.
- Living On One Dollar continues to empower our friends in Guatemala through microloans, education, and clean water.
- And so much more! Check out our complete film library and 10-year impact report for specifics!
Your donations will also support State of Firsts, our latest feature documentary and impact campaign following Sarah McBride’s historic 2024 win as the first openly transgender member of Congress.
Together, we’ve already helped change the lives of over 606,869 people. Let’s keep going. Thank you for being part of the Optimist movement.
