With significant input from the Film Arts Foundation board, SFFS has with a specific eye on diversity and inclusivity constituted a Filmmaker Services Advisory Board of 15–20 Bay Area film professionals.

This body is tasked with providing tactical and strategic feedback during organizational transition; enabling increased SFFS contact with filmmaking communities; providing advocacy and interaction with existing as well as lapsed FAF members and fiscal sponsorees; door-opening for and championing of SFFS among former FAF fiscal stakeholders and new individual, corporate, government and foundation funding prospects; scouting for new projects worthy of funding, distribution and exhibition; encouraging filmmakers and community members both locally and regionally to join as members and sign up for filmmaker services; mentoring, networking and counseling members; and providing assurance both internally and externally that SFFS is offering salient and valuable services and maintaining its existing and redoubled commitments to various loyal and new constituencies.
