Your support makes a huge difference!

Last year, our community heeded the S.O.S. call and supported Scarecrow in historic numbers, with nearly 7,600 individual contributions and over $1M raised. This transformative support not only allowed our world-renowned media library to remain publicly accessible but also strengthened our capacity to fulfill our nonprofit mission.

These numbers are remarkable but the work to truly “save” this incomparable archive and establish Scarecrow as a resilient and sustainable nonprofit is far from over. That’s why we’re reintroducing S.O.S. in 2025 with renewed determination and a new moniker: Sustain Our Scarecrow.

Sustain Our Scarecrow reflects the critical next phase and invites you to be part of this transformational change. Our target is to raise the remaining $600K of our initial S.O.S. goal, and dedicate the next $85K milestone towards completing and improving the functionality of our Zardoz database.

More ways to help

Physical Media Donations

We accept donations of all kinds: DVD, BluRay, and even Laser Disc collections; working home video players; and even necessary office and store display equipment. We double check everything for replacement copies or to add to our collection, and sell the rest as used merchandise, another significant source of revenue. Got something you think Scarecrow could use?  Email us for more info! Note: Due to space considerations, we are very choosy about VHS donations at this time! If you have a VHS collection to donate please email us with a list of unique titles included and we will let you know if we can accept them.  

Spread the Word

But we can't do this alone! You can help us immensely by telling friends, family, and co-workers about Scarecrow Video. Share our story and why you love Scarecrow with your social networks. We need this not just to raise money, but awareness of this magnificent collection and its impact.

Round It Up

If you're looking for an easy way to contribute, simply rounding up your purchase at the register to the nearest dollar (or, ahem, five dollars) is a fantastic option. Your spare change can make a world of difference!

Employer Match

Perhaps your employer can offer a matching donation through a corporate philanthropy program? It doesn’t hurt to ask, and is a great way to double your donation and increase your support.

We can’t do it without you.
