One of the easiest, most effective ways you can support PFS is through workplace giving. And since companies often match employee contributions, workplace giving provides you with the opportunity to directly influence your company’s philanthropic endeavors. Check with your payroll administrator to see if PFS is on your company’s list of approved charities in your workplace contribution campaign. If we are not listed, ask if you can write us in or have us added to the list. To direct contributions through the United Way of Greater Philadelphia & Southern New Jersey’s Donor Choice Program use designation code 54203.

Making a planned gift is a thoughtful way to contribute to the future of PFS—and to create a legacy that will inspire film enthusiasts for generations to come.

Your generosity to future generations can also benefit you and your family with an immediate tax deduction, estate tax savings, and investment income.
