Fandango has raised more than $2.5 million from moviegoers who opted to round their ticket purchases to the nearest dollar in support of community-driven philanthropic initiatives. The feature has been dubbed Round Up and it launched in Jan. 2025.
The donations have been used to help the Boys & Girls Clubs of Americas fund its programs and to create moviegoing experiences and screening events that benefit Club members nationwide.
Fandango announced that it has made the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures its new seasonal partner. Funds raised through Round Up will support the Academy Museum’s mission to “advance the understanding, celebration, and preservation of cinema.” The partnership will support exhibitions, film programming such as family matinees, education initiatives including the Teen Council – designed to inspire young artists and open pathways for diverse communities to engage with film, as well as preservation efforts of the Academy Collection.
“We’re incredibly proud that Fandango users have helped raise over $2.5 Million in the first year of our Round Up program for BGCA to help excite and inspire the next generation of moviegoers,” said Will McIntosh, president of digital platforms and ventures at Versant. “Advancing accessibility to film is central to our mission, so we are excited to also partner with the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures to further their work in film preservation and education through multiple programs, exhibits, and opportunities. Together, we are fostering the future moviegoers and filmmakers of tomorrow, and our users are playing a direct role in making that possible.”
“We deeply appreciate Fandango’s commitment to supporting the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures and our mission to preserve and celebrate film history,” said Amy Homma, director and president of the Academy Museum. “Their essential support will make a meaningful impact in moving the museum’s mission forward and providing access for our global film community.”
Following the close of the seasonal partnership in March 2026, Fandango’s Round Up feature will return to support Boys & Girls Clubs of America. Fandango said it will continue to bring on new philanthropic seasonal partners in the future whose mission aligns with advancing accessibility, education and community enrichment in the arts.
The Round Up feature is available on Fandango’s website and mobile app.
