Support the Cinema Center

Donate to the Cinema Center

A Message from The Cinema Center: Please help us in this time! Cinema Center has been in Fort Wayne since the 70's and needs support during this time. We are continuing our mission on cinemacenter.org during this shutdown and are committed to finding ways to support our people. We have films available to rent through our website that you can't see through any other streaming platforms. We are also curating a selection of shorts that are free to watch online. These have all been chosen by Cinema Center employees; they find something that inspires or resonates with them and they share it with our audience at cinemacenter.org. Basically, we are continuing to provide reasons for people to visit us every day even if it is visiting us virtually at cinemacenter.org rather than in the theater. Cinema Center, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit arthouse movie theater in Fort Wayne. We provide unique opportunities to explore our world through the art of film. We strive to engage our community with programming that stimulates, expands thought, inspires the spirit, promotes discussion and fosters empathy through artistic and cultural experiences.

Other ways to help

Not everyone has established a GoFundMe. Below are additional ways to support those not using crowdsharing platforms.

They have their own ways of caring for their staff. If you'd like to help, call and ask to speak to a manager to contribute to their employee hardship account. It's a shared account they've setup to assist their staff in times of need. You can make a direct contribution that will make a difference!
