PAY IT FORWARD

Tēnā koutou katoa! The Pan-Asian Screen Collective (PASC) is a vital force for change in Aotearoa's screen industry, championing authentic storytelling and equitable opportunities for Pan-Asian creatives.

While our core operations are supported by key funding partners, the impactful programmes and initiatives that directly uplift our members – from skill-building workshops to crucial advocacy efforts – rely on the generosity of our community and allies.

You can financially contribute what feels right for you through a one-off contribution*. Your generosity helps us continue to make a tangible difference.

How your money is used: While the dollar amounts above represent real costs we face, all Pay it Forward contributions are pooled into a dedicated fund for regional events and development. This allows us the flexibility to combine resources—for example, turning fifty $10 script-printing donations into a full-day workshop with two industry guest speakers. We ensure every dollar goes toward connecting and upskilling Pan-Asian creatives.

Ngā mihi nui for standing with us.

*Please Note: Contributions are an unconditional gift to the Pan-Asian Screen Collective (Incorporated Society). As PASC is not a registered charity or approved donee, contributions are not eligible for a donation tax credit.
