- Clarify your purpose and align your “why” with artistic, financial, and social goals

- Design a social impact campaign plan that amplifies your work’s reach and resonance
- Strengthen your confidence so you can fund, make, and launch your project with impact
This isn’t a passive course—it’s hands-on coaching, real-time implementation, and the support of a creative community that has your back.
PROGRAM STRUCTURE
- Monthly curriculum with project milestones
- Personalized guidance & direct feedback from Simone
- Accountability, momentum, and strategy in live group calls

- A peer network of visionary, purpose-driven creatives walking alongside you
BY THE END OF THE COHORT, YOU WILL:
✅ Move from overwhelm to clarity, confidence, and momentum
✅ Hold a fundable, actionable plan for your project
✅ Gain the tools to pitch with power and engage aligned supporters
✅ Expand your creative ecosystem and network
✅ Step fully into your role as an artist who changes culture and inspires change
You’ll leave with not just inspiration, but a fundable, actionable plan and the tools to make it real.
WHY NOW?
The world is in upheaval—and artists are the first responders of social change.
In times of fracture and uncertainty, it’s creatives who step forward first.
Yet too many visionary artists are stuck, under-resourced, and left to carry their vision alone.
ARTISTS FOR IMPACT is your chance to stop spinning your wheels and start moving your project forward—with structure, support, and a community that believes in your work.
HI, I’M SIMONE…
I’m a social impact strategist, Emmy-nominated producer, and founder of For Impact Productions. I’ve:
- Raised seven-figure funding for socially catalytic projects
- Produced award-winning films with global reach
- Advised philanthropists, corporations, nonprofits, and government leaders
- Led large-scale impact campaigns across sectors
I know what it’s like to hold a sacred, urgent vision—and to wonder how to get the resources and partners needed to bring it alive.
That’s why I created ARTISTS FOR IMPACT. To give purpose-driven creatives the clarity, tools, and ecosystem they need to move their work from vision to reality.
My approach is soulful yet strategic. Others may tell you to cut your budget or scale back your dream. I’ll show you how to expand your possibilities, align the right resources, and build a project as a full initiative—one that is sustainable, impactful, and positioned for cultural transformation.
WHAT PAST PARTICIPANTS SAY…
In the Cohort, I got a lot of help creating my donor letter, pitch deck, and one sheet. That kind of training was extremely important to move myself to the next level. Before, I was confused about why someone would invest in a film, and philanthropy felt completely abstract to me. Working with Simone not only strengthened my belief in my project, but also helped me become more confident in myself—and that confidence is already showing results. Simone has a unique ability to truly see people for who they are, which made our collaboration feel effortless. It was a right decision to take this course, for sure. – Anastasia M., narrative filmmaker
In this moment when it’s really difficult, and possibly getting more difficult to raise money, independent filmmakers need to adapt to the changing circumstances which requires raising money to make our films from a variety of sources. From Simone’s Cohort, I got to realize that we need to utilize non-traditional funding methods, and I’m glad to have some important tools to help, ie one-sheet(s), a donor letter, and pitch deck. – Lisa R., documentary producer
Before, I saw hybrid financing as a complicated puzzle that filmmakers had to piece together when they lacked major backing. Now, I see it as a proactive, strategic choice that allows for greater financial security, creative independence, and international collaboration. – Bernice B., narrative filmmaker
Simone has a superb understanding of the true potential of visual storytelling to something larger, transcending beyond the screen. She has this unique mix of not only getting the artistic vision and garnering significant support for it, but also translating it into the realities of the business and then taking a step further by building large social issue engagement campaigns. Jennifer Fox, Writer/Director/Producer
THIS IS MORE THAN A COURSE
Other programs separate art-making from funding, strategy, and impact. ARTISTS FOR IMPACT integrates all of it—mindset, structure, and execution—so you don’t just dream big, you build big.
This is not theory. It’s a soulful, structured, real-world framework that moves you from isolated and stuck to connected, resourced, and ready.
IMAGINE THIS…
Four months from now, you’re no longer questioning if your project will ever move forward. Instead, you’re holding a clear plan, powerful tools, and a circle of collaborators who believe in you.
Your art isn’t just surviving—it’s thriving. It’s funded. It’s in motion. And it’s positioned to move culture forward.
