TAX-DEDUCTIBLE (ALL LEVELS)
FACETS is a 501(c)(3) non-profit arts organization. A portion of your membership is tax-deductible. Members may choose whether to receive benefits, which will impact the portion of the donation considered tax-deductible.

Enjoy a birthday party, business event, and more at FACETS with a private screening of a film of your choice in our 126-seat Cinema. Our neighboring Studio is included with rentals of the Cinema if you would like to have a reception before or after your screening. Also included is a custom message on FACETS’ historic Fullerton marquee.
CUSTOMIZE YOUR GIVING ($5,000+)
Your Donor Circle contribution provides a major level of impact by supporting the biggest FACETS programs throughout the year. At the Supporting Actor Level and above, patrons can direct their gifts to specific programs as official sponsors or allow support to be used wherever it is needed most.
TICKETS TO SCREEN GEMS BENEFIT ($10,000+)
Screen Gems is FACETS’ annual fundraiser event honoring a person of extraordinary contributions to cinema and supporting our John A. Bross Student Scholarship Fund, which proves free festival tickets and low-cost camp tuition to under-resourced Chicago youth.
