MonteVideo is a proud member of Color Congress, an ecosystem-builder whose vision is to actualize a reimagined documentary landscape toward one that strengthens people of color visibility, voice, and power, laying the groundwork for a future of the field that is a more powerful force for social change.

MonteVideo was created with support from the National Association of Latino Arts and Cultures, Southwest Airlines, the City of San Antonio Department of Arts & Culture through a grant from the NALAC Fund for the Arts Grant Program, and the Luminaria Artist Foundation. Recent event sponsors include the Mexican American Civil Rights Institute, American Indians in Texas at the Spanish Colonial Missions, and San Antonio District 5 Councilwoman Teri Castillo.
