Jonathan Logan Family Foundation

The Berkeley Film Foundation nurtures, sustains and preserves the local film community in East Bay cities including Berkeley, Emeryville, El Cerrito, Albany, Richmond and Oakland. Through grants for the production, post-production and distribution of films, the Berkeley Film Foundation supports filmmakers directly and works to attract the next generation of creators. With support from the Jonathan Logan Family Foundation, the Berkeley Film Foundation launched the annual Logan Elevate Grant in 2020, which provides funding to an emerging filmmaker.
