POTA is a non-profit organization

that brings the world together through filmmaking & art.

POTA connects filmmakers and artists with supporters (patrons) of the arts, so that together important film & art projects may be created and presented to the public.



POTA’s “Sponsor an Artist” and Sponsor a Filmmaker” programs are person-to-person micro-donation tools for independent filmmakers and artists.


A dollar by itself doesn’t go far these days.  But when a lot of people come together to give a little, amazing things can happen!  Our goal is to directly impact art and culture by supporting struggling artists. On this website you can make a difference by making a donation of any size to a qualified artist or filmmaker of your choice.  


All filmmakers and artists who’s projects appear on the POTA website have met the specific criteria to qualify for this program, and also meet our non-profit company’s mission.  Rest assured, the approval process is extensive and includes a complete review of detailed budgets, schedules, and paperwork for each project.  All donations are tax deductible.
