I’m incredibly proud and grateful for all the storytellers who’ve been brave enough to share their personal stories with the world.
And of course to our video story producers, Damien Mittlefehldt and Antonia Colodro. They spend one-on-one time with each and every storyteller, helping them think of and craft their stories. Their hard work is reflected in the quality of the stories, as well as the views and comments on each one. Check out our most recent stories.
We recently received a grant from the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council, making it 6 years in a row. We also received a grant from Wellspring Philanthropic Fund, now 5 years in a row. We simply could not continue our programming without their support.
Towards the end of 2022 and at the beginning of this year, we’ve forged some crucial corporate partners, including Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Adobe, TD Bank, HuschBlackwell, Estee Lauder, Northwell Health, and JetBlue. Thank you! If you want your company to work with I’m From Driftwood, we can create a personalized program that fits your company’s needs, just respond to this email and let's get started.
