About Lojeri Productions®

Since 1998, Lojeri Productions®, has been a federally approved 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. The main purpose and activity of the company is to produce educational and promotional films for and in conjunction with other nonprofit groups including museums, historical and cultural agencies, and educational organizations.

A variety of productions are available for broadcast and private use, including documentaries, orientation and exhibit-related films, marketing segments, and other media projects. They can be designed for in-house and outreach purposes.

For all media projects, it is requested that at least half of the total cost is provided at the beginning of the project and that the remainder is paid upon its completion.

As a tax-exempt organization, Lojeri Productions can apply directly to funding agencies for money to help cover production costs. The company also raises funds through the sale of DVD and VHS copies of its productions. Approximately half of the sales profits are donated to the museum or nonprofit organization featured in a film.

Lojeri Productions also offers Internship and Volunteer Opportunities for college students and the general public.
