Impact Model
Tier 1
Audience Reached
Film Festivals, Internet Outlets, Networking Agencies, Streaming Services, Educational Databases
Rationale: Countless indigenous groups are marginalized into silence and therefore often lack even acknowledgement by the international community of their existence or their sociopolitical challenges. Documenting the oral histories of those who are able and wish to share provides an archival service for indigenous communities but also serves to educate others about the challenges as well as the flourishing culture still thriving in these ancient societies.
Tier 2
Financial Revenue for Films and Albums
Film Festival Earnings, Album Sales, Concert/Performance Revenue
Rationale: The application of these earnings will be entirely determined by the community served. This agreement will be shaped during the contractual stages of project development with IRP consultation if requested.
Tier 3
Direct-to-Community Investors
Instances in which an IRP community service project connects communities to short or long-term philanthropic support
Example 1: a keyboard donation to a volunteer teacher who has engaged their community’s youth in the production of folkloric music
Example 2: a long-term investor or relevant NGO offering to send environmental scientists and supplies after watching an IRP documentary about an indigenous community’s contaminated water source
