GRANTS
Simbelle Impact Award
Named after our founders' two daughters, Simone and Lillybelle, Simbelle was created to help shape a world where their voices — and the voices of women and girls everywhere — are heard, valued, and uplifted. We believe in the transformative power of storytelling to illuminate the diverse and vital experiences of women around the globe. That’s why, in partnership with Breaking Through the Lens, we’re thrilled to announce the launch of the Simbelle Impact Award — a $10,000 unrestricted grant supporting a filmmaker whose vision aligns with our mission. This award is about trust, community, and championing bold stories that move us toward a more equitable future.
How to Apply
The Simbelle Mothers in Focus Grant is an annual $5,000 unrestricted grant to support a mother working in the film industry. No demands, no follow-up reports, just extra funds to help you as a mother in the film industry take care of whatever you need to.
