Ep. 39 Lights, Camera, Impact: How Rosser Goodman Is Turning Films Into A New Frontier For Philanthropy

What if storytelling could become one of the most powerful tools in your philanthropic strategy? In this innovative episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Rosser Goodman, filmmaker and founder of Tano Rising Film, to explore how cause-driven feature films are transforming the way philanthropists create impact. Rosser shares how her model connects high-net-worth families with ready-to-produce scripts centered around critical social issues bringing underrepresented stories to life while amplifying awareness around topics like mental health, foster care, human trafficking, and environmental justice. This conversation reveals how film can move beyond entertainment to become a measurable force for change.

Together, they dive into how philanthropists can align their legacy with storytelling, why so many powerful scripts never make it to the screen, and how Tano Rising Film is bridging that gap. Rosser also explains how impact is tracked through post-film calls to action turning audience emotion into real-world results. If you’ve ever wondered how to expand your giving beyond traditional channels and create something truly lasting, this episode will open your eyes to an entirely new frontier of philanthropy.
