RAGTAG FILM SOCIETY LEGACY FUND

In 2013, Bill Bondeson and Linda Butterfield Cupp established the Ragtag Film Society Legacy Fund in memory of Willy Wilson, local thespian, high school teacher, dragon designer, and, notably, David Wilson’s dad. The Legacy Fund endowment exists to ensure the long-term health, vitality, and sustainability of Ragtag Cinema and True/False Film Fest. This fund is designated for planned giving or for substantial recurring gifts to the organization. For information on including RFS in your estate planning, transfers of stock, or other types of planned giving, please contact Stacie Pottinger.

TRUE LIFE FUND

The True Life Fund is a philanthropic effort to raise money and awareness for the subjects of a new nonfiction film. Through grassroots outreach and generous donations from True/False attendees, this initiative offers tangible assistance to the real-life subjects of a film and acknowledges that documentary filmmakers and festivals thrive because of the stories given to us by people who are often of limited means.

To contribute to the 2022 True Life Fund and the people behind the Uru-euwau-wau Indigenous surveillance team, cash or card will be accepted at all screenings of The Territory, online at truelifefund.org, or by texting TLF to 53-555 (accepts Venmo, PayPal, bank transfer, or credit card) by April 30, 2022. You can also purchase the pin (pictured right and available at Merch locations); proceeds support the current-year True Life Fund.

THE DIANA LISCUM FUND

In December 2018, the Diana Liscum Education Fund was established to benefit the education programs of Ragtag Film Society. A retired Hickman High School English teacher (her former students knew her as Mrs. Rahm), Diana shared hundreds of hours of her time and talent as a volunteer film screener for True/False, and she and her husband were devoted members of Ragtag Cinema. Ragtag Film Society is grateful to honor and uphold Diana’s legacy for generations to come. To donate, visit truefalse.org/support/donate and include “Liscum” in the comments.

THANK YOU

WE KNOW THAT WE COULDN’T DO THIS WITHOUT OUR PEOPLE,

and there are literally hundreds of them. Businesses large and small, near and far, lend us financial and material support. Donors, whether offering $20 or $20,000, are essential in sustaining us long-term. Our volunteers have enough collective energy to power the entire festival, and our 20 board members give us valued expertise so we don’t sweat the small (or big) stuff. The 80-plus members of our CORE team put their lives on hold to transform our vision into reality, and the heart of our org, Ragtag Cinema, provides a hearth and home year-round. That amounts to an awe-inspiring amount of love and loyalty keeping this beautiful thing going for nearly 20 years. Here’s our attempt to thank all the folks who make it happen.

RAGTAG FILM SOCIETY

True/False Film Fest and Ragtag Cinema are projects of the 501(c)3 nonprofit organization Ragtag Film Society
