The most important way you can help support Split Pillow is by coming to our screenings and buying our DVDs and enjoying the works produced by our filmmakers each season.

Click here! Split Pillow is a 501(c)(3) so all donations are tax-deductible. You can even specify which part of the organization you want the donation to go toward specifically. We are a small organization, but like any other we can't operate without funding for things ranging from printer paper to camera maintenance to website maintenance. We also are in need of used laptops and camcorders for our outreach program.

Absolutely! We can always use volunteers willing to donate some of their time. We need ushers, bartenders and photographers at screenings, people to help with mass mailings, and production assistants to help out our filmmakers on the set.

Some of the most generous companies, organizations and people in the Midwest and beyond. Thanks to our 2006 donors below, Split Pillow continues to be able to bring opportunities to Chicago's creative community:
