Manhita Chamorro Inc. has launched an urgent fundraising campaign to support the widespread distribution and community screening of "I Am Chamorro." As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we rely entirely on the generosity of donors who believe in the importance of indigenous storytelling and cultural preservation.
The funds raised through this campaign will support several critical initiatives. First, we will produce and distribute DVDs and digital copies of the film to schools, libraries, and community centers throughout Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and in areas with significant Chamorro diaspora populations. Second, we will organize community screenings with live discussions, bringing the film directly to audiences who may not have access otherwise. Third, we will develop comprehensive educational materials that accompany the film for use in classrooms and community education settings.
Your tax-deductible donation makes a real difference. A contribution of $50 can provide one school with a copy of the documentary and teaching materials. A gift of $500 can sponsor a complete community screening event with panel discussion. Larger contributions help us expand our outreach and begin work on future documentary projects that continue to center Chamorro voices and experiences.
Every donor, regardless of amount, becomes part of our manhita—our community working together to ensure that Chamorro stories are told with authenticity, respect, and power. We invite you to join us in this vital work. Visit our donate page to contribute today and help us preserve and celebrate Chamorro culture for generations to come.
