The Science on Screen® grant initiative brings science to cinemas nationwide.
The Coolidge Corner Theatre's series has enhanced film and scientific literacy with this popular program, which launched at the Coolidge in 2005 in partnership with the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and its pioneering nationwide film program.
Since 2011, Sloan has awarded the Coolidge over $4 million to develop and administer Science on Screen programs around the US through partnerships with other nonprofits. The Coolidge has in turn awarded over $2.75 million in grants to 131 film and science-focused organizations in 46 U.S. states (plus Puerto Rico and Washington, DC).
