The Cinema Foundation is dedicated to promoting the essential cinema exhibition industry by developing future diverse workforces and growing moviegoing communities through research, education, and philanthropy. The Cinema Foundation was created in March 2022 by the National Association of Theatre Owners (NATO). The Cinema Foundation expands on NATO's mission by including technology companies, food and beverage leaders, members of the creative community and other individuals and companies that share the vision and passion for the future of cinema.

The Cinema Foundations's founding Board of Directors draws members from across the industry, including Jackie Brenneman (NATO), President; Tori A. Baker (Salt Lake Film Society), Vice-President; Brian Schultz (Look Cinemas), Adam Cassels (Cinionic); Michelle Maddalena (Dolby Laboratories); and Katherine Twells (The Coca-Cola Company).

"The future of cinema is being determined right now," said The Cinema Foundation President, Jackie Brenneman. "The Cinema Foundation is designed to bring together key industry stakeholders, from business, technology and creative community to be the leading voice in what that future will be."
