Overview
Mission
The Idaho film society airms to pioneer meaningful cinematic experiences within our communities by designing space where makers can create share and grow.
What it reported doing in 2024
General programs - in 2024, the organization provided program services focused on advancing film and media arts within the local community. Activities included operating a community-based theater that hosted curated film screenings multiple days per week, often accompanied by educational discussions, guest speakers, and audience engagement opportunities. The organization also supported filmmakers and production teams by offering access to workspace, screening rooms, and production facilities, including a soundstage and equipment rental services. These efforts aimed to foster creative collaboration, reduce production barriers, and expand access to diverse cinematic experiences. The organization also generated program-related revenue through event rentals by providing access to its facilities, including theater space, production areas, and lounge/bar areas for community events, film-related gatherings, and private functions. These rentals supported the organization's mission by maximizing use of its space while generating funds to sustain and expand its programming.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and expenses are high relative to revenue.
