Impact Artist Darryl "DMC" McDaniels Kicks Off DC's Foster Care Campaign

The Washington Post reports rap legend and Impact Artist Darryl “DMC” McDaniels returned to Washington following his January performance at the Impact Film Fund’s “Artists Making an Impact” event to promote the city's foster home program. He learned he was adopted as an infant ten years ago, which was chronicled in the documentary DMC: MY ADOPTION JOURNEY. He subsequently has dedicated significant time to recruiting foster families and adoption. McDaniels is taping ads for the city’s program, funded by a $100,000 donation from Freddie Mac Foundation in the hopes of finding 500 new D.C. homes within 18 months. Do you have what it takes?

About IMPACT Arts + Film Fund

The IMPACT ARTS + FILM FUND (IAFF) was created as a platform for arts, documentary and narrative filmmaking to engage with the political and policy arena. IAFF is based in Washington, D.C., and was co-founded by Jody Arlington, Jamie Shor and Kimball Stroud, three veterans of the political and entertainment arenas. IAFF hosts screenings, panel discussions, promotional events, and book launches to educate and enlighten its audiences and creates a climate for meaningful social IMPACT.

IAFF's fiscal sponsor is New Venture Fund, a 501(c) 3 public charity. New Venture Fund was established in response to demand from leading philanthropists for efficient, cost-effective and time-saving intermediary services. NVF offers unobtrusive support and facilitation - focusing on enhancing our clients' ability to execute their visions. Our open-architecture system offers donors a custom-built platform at a lower price than most other nonprofit intermediaries.
