Wrapbook USA Film & TV Grant

The Wrapbook USA Film & TV Grant is a private funding initiative launched by Wrapbook, a company specializing in payroll and production management services for the entertainment industry. This grant aims to support high-budget film and television productions shooting within the United States. The company, known for its commitment to streamlining back-office operations for the creative industry, seeks to encourage domestic production by offering significant financial support to qualifying projects. Wrapbook’s broader mission includes strengthening local production economies and promoting the benefits of utilizing domestic crews and locations. The program offers up to four grants, each valued at up to $200,000, to qualified productions. To be eligible, applicants must meet several key criteria. First, the total production budget must be at least $15 million. Second, the entire shoot must take place within the United States. Third, applicants must agree to use Wrapbook exclusively for all payroll services for the project’s duration. Lastly, recipients are expected to participate in co-promotional activities that highlight the benefits of filming in the U.S. and the advantages of using Wrapbook’s services. Wrapbook notes that participation in the grant program does not guarantee funding. The organization retains full discretion to determine eligibility, evaluate submissions, and award grants based on both stated and additional internal criteria. While the program outlines a plan to offer four grants, Wrapbook reserves the right to award fewer or none at all. Furthermore, the company may modify or terminate the program at any time without prior notice. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis and are reviewed daily. The application process is streamlined, requiring applicants to provide comprehensive project details through an online form. Submissions are reviewed in the order received. Although the form is brief, applicants are encouraged to provide as much information as possible to enhance their evaluation prospects. Applicants are also informed that selected productions may be asked to sign additional agreements, particularly regarding participation in marketing efforts that promote U.S. production and Wrapbook's role in facilitating such projects. These agreements may include public acknowledgments, promotional content, or collaborative press materials. Costs associated with the application process remain the responsibility of the applicant. Overall, the Wrapbook USA Film & TV Grant seeks to bolster the domestic production ecosystem by offering substantial financial assistance to large-scale projects, while simultaneously promoting the company's own services and contributing to the visibility of U.S.-based film and television production.
