A Special Message From WISE — and a Thank-You Gift for Our Community

Today, on Giving Tuesday, we invite you to be part of something historic.

For decades, women and underrepresented creatives have fought to be seen, heard, and funded in the entertainment industry. At Women in Showbiz Everywhere (WISE), we’re building the pipeline, the platform, and now the physical home that will change that forever.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with offices in Los Angeles and New Jersey — and growing chapters in London and India — WISE is on a mission to amplify marginalized voices, accelerate careers, and ensure their stories shape the future of film, television, music, digital media, and the arts. And today, we take one major step forward together.

Introducing: The WISE Center for Film & Arts

The WISE Center for Film & Arts will be the first-ever creative hub entirely dedicated to empowering women, non-binary, and underrepresented storytellers. A place to:

Learn — through free and low-cost training programs in filmmaking, music, production and post production

Create — in film, podcasting, media, and performing arts spaces

Collaborate — with a global community of creatives.

Be Seen — through exhibitions, showcases, screenings, and performances

This Center will be a permanent home for creativity, wellness, culture, a women's film market and mentorship. And you can help us build it.

Your Support Today Builds the Door for Others

When women, non-binary, and underrepresented creatives thrive, the entire industry transforms. Your Giving Tuesday contribution — whether a donation, membership, or gala ticket — helps WISE:

✔ Launch the WISE Center for Film & Arts

✔ Offer no-cost and low-cost training & mentorship programs

✔ Produce films, podcasts, and media that champion untold stories such as Project Eve

✔ Build a global pipeline of storytellers who will shape the future

We can’t create a new world of media unless we build the door — and this is where it begins.
