Scarecrow Video

The future of Scarecrow starts now.

Scarecrow’s library is thriving again thanks to the community that has surrounded and stewarded it for nearly four decades. Your support brought us back from the brink of closure and prevented our displacement from our longtime home in the University District. But we’re not done yet. 

Scarecrow’s strength lies in our unique role as a living archive, a vital gathering space and a essential cultural resource that has influenced diverse generations of artists, creatives, performers and filmmakers. 

At a time when too many of our cultural neighbors are vanishing, it’s more urgent than ever that Scarecrow steps up in new ways to support the creative ecosystem and sustain the cultural character of our community. 

On GiveBIG, you can make this critical work possible.

Your gift today will help us leverage our strengths and deepen our collaborative partnerships to foster engaging and meaningful cinematic experiences that our communities need to cultivate connection and creativity. 

Your support now goes beyond the preservation of the human stories, real and imagined, housed in this collection. It will create space for new ones to be told and pave the path forward for the future we’re building together.

Thanks to the generous support of Judy Pigott every donation made now through May 5th will be matched up to $10,000!

Help us reach our goal and make your gift go twice as far to support Scarecrow's future!
