    Ratings are calculated from one or more beacon scores. Currently, we require either an Accountability & Finance beacon or an Impact assessment to be eligible for a Charity Navigator rating. Note: The absence of a rating does not indicate a positive or negative assessment; it only indicates that we have not yet evaluated this organization.

    Historical Ratings
    Charity Navigator's ratings previously did not consider Leadership & Adaptability, Culture & Community, or Impact & Measurement. The historic rating mainly reflects a version of today’s Accountability and Finance score. More information on our previous rating methodologies can be found on our rating methodology page.
    Rating histories are available for a growing number of rated organizations. Check back later to see if this organization has a rating history!

    During the first COVID-19 Pandemic year of 2020, Pacific Film Foundation (PFF) did a thorough Situation Analysis, which determined that we needed to upgrade our online presence with a new, more useful platform. We decided to retain Digital Impact Solutions, which applied their "Funnel Strategy" to enable a far more responsive, interactive, and dynamically evolving platform. The site was launched in the First Quarter of 2021, at https://pacificfilmfoundation.org. It's a documentary film/tv series hub with dedicated "Channels,” generating global audience engagement to help achieve specific United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, with particular attention to categories where PFF has demonstrated expertise: #3 Good Health – Focus on Gene Therapies #5 Gender Equality – Focus on our TV Series, Female & Finally Free #13 Climate Action – Focus on Educating Marketers and Global Brands in Marketing Sustainability #16 Peace & Justice – Focus on Civil Rights and Social Justice #17 Partnerships for the Goals – Focus on Sustainable Tourism Our focus is to empower more individuals and organizations to develop, produce, and distribute films, television series. Our upgraded Website is supported by a Google Adwords Grant managed by the digital advertising agency, NonProfit Megaphone which is now able to invest $10,000 per month in click-throughs to drive interested users to the Website.
