Patrick Shepherd’s Summary

My primary charge is to meet fund raising goals for corporate sponsorships, foundation grants, government grants, and individual donations to support the Cleveland Film Society and our Cleveland International Film Festival (http://www.clevelandfilm.org).

Since our organization maintains a full-time staff of three people, I am responsible for every fundraising task – from soliciting major gifts to sending acknowledgement letters for contributions. Additional duties include brokering trade deals with local print media, radio, television, hotels, airlines, and other businesses to reduce the expenses for the Film Festival.
