Entertainment 2 Affect Change (E2AC) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization committed to producing high quality digital, cinematic, and live entertainment for the express purpose of bringing positive change to underserved health and social communities.
Entertainment 2 Affect Change centers documentary and social impact storytelling, with recent grants reaching projects on rare disease patients, Black maternal health, Native American residential schools, and illegal animal trade. The largest listed award is $345,000 to Willa Productions for multiple projects tied to social impact film production and distribution, signaling support for both creation and audience reach. Their portfolio also shows repeated backing for the same project over time, including Deliver US Film LLC, which received $120,052 in 2024 and $150,000 in 2025 for a documentary on Black maternal health, and Believe Limited, which received $75,000 in 2025 after a $213,750 grant in 2024 for On the Shoulders of Giants on rare disease patients. Those awards sit alongside smaller production and campaign grants across documentary, film, and podcast work. The foundation’s public programs also point to how it operates: it supports student and emerging filmmakers, fiscal sponsorship, impact assessment, and distribution for cause-driven content. Across the grants list, the work favors projects that combine production with a social purpose rather than standalone entertainment.
In health advocacy, Entertainment 2 Affect Change supported documentary work on rare disease patients through grants to Believe Limited LLC, including a $213,750 award in 2024 for On the Shoulders of Giants and a $75,000 award in 2025 for the same project. It also backed Deliver US Film LLC with $120,052 in 2024 and $150,000 in 2025 for a documentary on Black maternal health. The foundation’s social justice focus extends to historical and racial justice: Residential School received $55,060 in 2025 for Breaking the Silence on Native American residential schools, while Redins LLC received $8,540 in 2025 for Death Differently, a documentary series on death and dying. In conflict and peacebuilding, 88 Petals Production LLC received $30,500 for Petals of a Flower on Ukraine, and Unshakeable Production received $15,000 in 2025 for The Great Unhate on peacebuilding. They also funded The Last Drop, a film on relationship abuse, with $9,000 to Aggressively Compassionate LLC.
Typical grants cluster around a median of $30,500, with a lower quartile of $9,000 and an upper quartile of $90,000. The recent record shows both one-off awards and repeat support: Deliver US Film LLC and Believe Limited each received multiple grants across 2024 and 2025, and Unshakeable Production appeared in both years as well. Entertainment 2 Affect Change is a regular funder rather than a donor-advised fund and does not fund individuals. The grant record is project-based, with awards tied to production, distribution, impact campaigns, and documentary development rather than unrestricted support.
