The Patrons Circle is a group of industry professionals and activists teaming up with Seed&Spark to support innovative creators telling stories that drive narrative change.

By launching your project on Seed&Spark, you automatically become eligible and considered to receive mini-grants from one of our Patrons ranging between $500 to $2,500.
- Current and previous Patrons include Mark Duplass, Ray Romano, Jason Reitman, The Diamond Brothers, Shabnam Mogharabi, Jess Jacobs, Abigail Disney, Alex Kurtzman, Nick Kroll, Emily V. Gordon & Kumail Nanjiani, Jeff Yang, Timothy Tau, and more!
- Patrons look for projects of all kinds, from first time writer-directors to women-led stories to stories that center justice issues across the spectrum.
- The Patron’s Circle is built to reward you for your outreach work, and then help you accelerate it. Projects that reach 30% funded in their first week through their own audience building efforts are considered first.
- Grantees from the Patrons Fund receive our sweet Patrons Circle Laurels and a chance to make a social video to be posted across Seed&Spark channels.
