The Studio Stories Fund
A philanthropic initiative to build, equip, and subsidize creative production studios for artists, students, and underserved communities — powered by the stories we film inside them.
Studio Stories: Live! panels, performances, and experiences that raise money in the rooms where culture happens — and put the spotlight on the people who make it.
The Studio Stories catalog itself — intimate conversations and features with industry experts whose stories entertain, teach, and fund the mission with every view.
The endgame: building and upgrading creative production studios in schools and underserved communities, paired with a growing digital archive of masterclass knowledge.
StudioStories.com operates on a profit split that puts 70% with the featured storytellers and dedicates a 15% Impact Share to causes: philanthropies chosen by our featured artists, the Studio Stories Fund for school and community studio projects, and direct support to the small, independent venues that host our live events. Add sponsorships, fundraising events, and direct giving, and the Fund grows every time a story gets told.
A high-school video production class changed our founder's life. The Fund exists to build those rooms — mixing desks, cameras, DAWs, instruments, and the mentorship to use them — for the kids and communities who need them most, while independent venues get a partner who pays the room instead of just playing it.
The Fund is being established with experienced philanthropic partners and a purpose-driven advisory board spanning banking, film, music, and nonprofit leadership. Structure, governance, and fiscal administration are being finalized — and every dollar's journey will be reportable.
Leave your email and we'll share the Fund prospectus, upcoming Live! fundraising events, and first-look progress as studios come online.
The Studio Stories Fund is in formation; charitable structure and fiscal administration are being finalized. Contributions are not tax-deductible at this time — we'll tell you the moment that changes. Direct inquiries: dale@netfreq.tv
