HI, WE’RE CMP.

Community, media, and philanthropy rolled into one.

We’re a nationwide community of storytellers, changemakers, artists, activists, philanthropists and so much more.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

 

When individuals act collectively they are a powerful force for change.

Great storytelling speaks truth to power.

Media is the platform to elevate and catalyze communities to action.


Documentaries create emotional connections to the issues of our time:

 

From racial injustice to gun violence

From climate change to fair democracy

From gender equality to human rights…and more.

 

Our community model of philanthropy propels great documentaries out into the world to make an impact.
