— How Pay it Forward works —

Your support multiplies.

1

You give what you can

Choose your monthly amount — $5, $50, or anything in between. Every dollar goes directly into making the next series, film, or documentary.

2

Catholic Studios stays free

Because supporters fund the work, the catalog stays free and ad-free for everyone — including the family who can't afford another subscription, the parish that needs Sunday-school content, and the student looking for serious answers.

3

Together we make more

More supporters means more documentaries, more films, more series. Vote on what gets greenlit. See your name in the credits. Watch the catalog grow.

Frequently Asked

Is it really free? What's the catch?

Really free. No ads, no paywalls, no "free for the first week" tricks. The whole catalog is free for anyone who creates an account. It works because supporters choose to fund it — the same way public radio and Wikipedia do.

Why "Pay it Forward" instead of a subscription?

Because the people who most need beauty, truth, and goodness in their lives are often the ones who can least afford another $13/month bill. Supporters give what they can so the catalog stays open to everyone — the family, the student, the parish.

What devices can I watch on?

Catholic Studios streams on iOS, Android, Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast, and any modern web browser. Your viewing progress syncs across all your devices.

How is my contribution used?

Roughly 70% goes directly to new productions — paying filmmakers, composers, scholars, and crew. The remaining 30% covers streaming infrastructure, editorial review, and operations. We publish an annual transparency report so supporters can see exactly where their money goes.

Is my contribution tax-deductible?

Tax-deductibility depends on our charitable status and your jurisdiction — we provide an annual giving statement to every supporter, and you should consult your tax advisor on deductibility where you live.

Can I cancel anytime?

Of course. Cancel in your account settings in two clicks — no calls, no retention scripts. And you'll still keep your free account, so you can keep watching.

Can I change my contribution amount later?

Yes — raise or lower it anytime in your account settings. Life changes, and so can your support.

How often is new content added?

New titles every week, with major Studios Originals premiering monthly. Supporters get early access — typically two to three weeks before the general release.
