Inspiring Global Change
Through Women’s Stories & Projects
FILM FEST
An annual event with global reach
Our film festival centers stories about women and girls told by young people from around the world. With 2,250 submissions from 96 countries, CHFF is about authentic representation and stories that inspire action.
PROJECTS
Investments from aid to education
Inspired by ConnectHER films and filmmakers, our locally-led projects fund solutions to global issues impacting women and girls from education and economic opportunity to emergency humanitarian response.
FELLOWSHIP
A storytelling incubator
ConnectHER filmmakers in the Global South lead peer to peer filmmaking workshops for youth in their communities, helping the next generation tell authentic stories that spark change.
Project Spotlight: Gaza
Since October 2023, ConnectHER’s filmmakers in Gaza have become our trusted team on the ground, partnering with their communities to locally purchase and distribute food, clean water, infant formula, and other essential supplies in response to unrelenting violence and displacement. Working across North and South Gaza, they deliver life-saving aid directly to women, children, and families. Through the generosity of our ConnectHER community and the determination of our team and partners on the ground, we have provided support for more than 60,000 people.
Our Gems & Giving Circle
Our global ConnectHER community is supported by recurring donations from our ConnectHER Gems and ConnectHER Giving Circle. For $25 a month, Giving Circle members support our portfolio of female-founded, locally led projects. With a $100 donation every month, ConnectHER Gems help sustain and scale our work, which includes our global project portfolio and the ConnectHER Film Festival.
