Dirty Poole cannot be completed without your help! Thank you to everyone who has donated so far.

All donations made to Dirty Poole are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law, thanks to the fiscal sponsorship of The San Francisco Film Society, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. All donors receive great Thank You gifts, including DVDs, books, and special access to a special section of the Web site. See the table below for details.

How to Donate

By Check

Write a check made out to San Francisco Film Society with Dirty Poole indicated on the memo line so they know to which project you're donating. If you wish your donation to be tax deductible, do not write a check directly to the director or the production company.

Send the check to:

San Francisco Film Society
39 Mesa Street, Suite 110
The Presidio
San Francisco CA 94129-1025

By Credit Card

You can also pay by credit card through the San Francisco Film Society's Web site. Due to the fees charged by credit card companies, the San Francisco Film Society takes a slightly larger percentage before passing your donation on to us.

We love in-kind donations from companies and individuals!

If you'd like to discuss an in-kind donation of goods or services, please contact Jim Tushinski at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . At present, we need post-production services (LA or San Francisco) and transcription services.
