A growing list of corporate and non-profit concerns are joining the FYI effort.  FYI has received early and continuing support from Sony Pictures Entertainment in the form of equipment and in-kind services, and has received significant, new funding from Balance Vector Productions, a mission-driven media production company founded by Steve Luczo, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Seagate Technology.  A generous donation from The Larson Charitable Foundation has enabled FYI to bring its program to Hawai'i in 2008. FYI has also received funding and in-kind donations from private parties.

With Visual Communications as its fiscal intermediary, FYI is in the process of submitting grant applications to public and family foundations whose emphasis is on education, prevention of youth violence, and cultural enrichment in order to continue and expand its education and outreach functions.
