#BuildTheDoorWithWISE

Women in Showbiz Everywhere (WISE) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with offices in Los Angeles and New Jersey — and growing chapters in India and London.

Our mission: To amplify the voices of women and underrepresented creatives in global entertainment, accelerate their careers, and ensure their stories reshape the future of media.

The WISE Center for Film & Arts will be the first-ever creative hub entirely dedicated to empowering women, non-binary, and underrepresented storytellers across film, television, music, digital media, and the arts. From training to exhibition, the WISE Center will provide it all: a space to create, collaborate, and be seen.

On July 15, 2026, during World Cup Finals week, we invite you to the Women Who Move the World Gala — a celebration honoring leading women in Story, Sports, and State, while supporting women in entertainment through WISE programs. Our goal for this inaugural gala is $100,000 — #BuildTheDoorWithWISE. Every membership, donation, and ticket helps lay the foundation of the WISE Center and expand programs that empower storytellers everywhere.

For decades, women and underrepresented creatives have fought to be seen, heard, and funded in the entertainment industry. WISE is changing that. We’ve built a thriving global community through film screenings, partnerships, and mentorship — and now, we’re creating a physical home where women in entertainment can grow, thrive, and be celebrated.

The WISE Center PLAN:

Phase 1 – Laying the Foundation ($1.5M)

Phase 1 is our top priority — the critical first step in bringing the WISE Center for Film & Arts to life. Your support will fund:

🎬 Film Academy & Event Spaces — classrooms and networking areas for masterclasses, workshops, panels, and community gatherings.
📽️ Screening Room — a premiere-quality space for film debuts, private screenings, and cultural events.
🎙️ Podcast & Post Production Studios — professional recording/ editing spaces for members, emerging talent, and WISE productions.

All participants in the Center will join WISE One, our global membership program. Phase 1 will train 100+ emerging creatives in its first year, creating a sustainable talent pipeline while generating programming, community engagement, and revenue.

New Jersey is reclaiming its place in filmed entertainment — now is the moment to equip women and underrepresented creatives to step in front of the camera, behind it, and into leadership roles. Phase 1 lays the foundation for training, showcasing, and advancing global talent in a growing industry.

Future Phases

Phase 2 ($4M): Post-production facilities, second screening room, archival space
Phase 3 ($5M, total $10M): Fully realized WISE Center with multiple screening rooms, wellness spaces, artist residencies, mentorship programs, and global collaborations

Through #BuildTheDoorWithWISE, we are raising $1.5M to launch Phase 1 — the first step in creating a world-class, women-led creative hub.

When the world doesn’t open doors for us — we build our own.
