The Gifted Youth Fund: Mentorship Through Media

Steadfast Haven: Empowering Memphis Youth Through Film & Mentorship

Steadfast Haven is on a mission to inspire and uplift the youth of Memphis through storytelling, mentorship, and creative expression.

We’re raising $10,000 to fund a year of youth-centered projects including short films, community events, and mentorship programs for talented young creators. This isn’t just about art — it’s about building safe spaces, fighting poverty, and helping young people rewrite their future through media and conversation.

How Your Support Will Be Used:

• $2,000 — Film equipment, lighting, and production tools

• $1,500 — Event spaces and city permits

• $1,200 — Transportation and meals for youth

• $800 — Flyers, banners, and promotional videos

• $1,500 — Guest speakers, workshop leaders, and mentors

• $500 — Admin tools, software, and printed materials

• $1,000 — Emergency and flexibility fund

• $1,500 — Documenting impact and growing our mission

What Your Donation Can Do:

• $25 helps feed one student

• $100 funds a full youth interview or workshop

• $500 supports an entire event day

Every dollar helps us tell real stories, support real youth, and make a lasting difference in Memphis. Let’s build something powerful — one story, one voice, and one young visionary at a time.
