Non-Profit Video Production
If you are looking to take your organization’s videos to the next level, we’re here to help! We believe non-profit video production can make a big difference in the community. It’s something that goes beyond the duration of the video and leaves the viewers inspired for years to come. Our goal with our non-profit films is to work with organizations making a difference in the community to tell their stories in a budget-friendly manner, while also providing high quality films and making sure they are done on time.
Case Study
The Reach Foundation approached us to create a compelling series of videos for their annual San Francisco Bay Area fundraising event and supplemental content for their digital platforms. Their mission supports first-generation students of color by providing mentors and scholarships from high school to college. We captured the powerful narratives of three fellows over three days of production using high-end cinema technology and a skilled crew. The emotive storytelling not only moved many viewers to tears but also played a pivotal role in raising [specific amount] for scholarships. This success underscores the transformative power of their programs and the profound impact of sharing authentic stories.
Case Study
Boys and Girls Club of Santa Cruz came to us looking to create a video for their 50th-anniversary fundraising event. At first, it seemed like they wanted to do a thorough overview of the organization, but it quickly became apparent that their main goal was to develop an emotional connection with the viewers. Through this, we interviewed many past club members in order to find a story that was not only genuine but would leave a lasting impact on the viewers. In this film, we tell the story of Vanessa as she guides us through her life and how the club helped her through some difficult times in her life.
Case Study
Rivet school by SNHU came to us looking to tell several stories in order to highlight the changes they were having in their students lives. We started this project by pre-interviewing countless students to seek out who might have the most compelling stories. After these pre-interviews, we then selected a group of folks who were willing to work with us for a few hours on one location to tell a powerful story about how Rivet school truly met each of them where they were at. The production was not only a challenge to get genuine emotion in such a short amount of time but it was a lot of content to capture in one day. Here is one of the eight deliverables we made for them.
Case Study
When Pajaro Valley Shelter Services came to us, we knew were going to create something that really impacted lives. Several years prior, we had worked with the Santa Cruz Volunteer Center in order to highlight 5 organizations in the community making a difference, and PVSS happened to be one of them. Fast forward several years, and they were ready to make a video in order to highlight the impact they were making for their virtual event. Through interviewing a local family who had used their program, a donor as well as their program director, we were able to show multiple vantage points of how the organization is making a difference in the community!
How long does non-profit video production take?
Although we have produced videos in as short as two weeks from initial contact to final delivery, we prefer to have at least four weeks to create your films. While it might seem like just showing up with a camera and shooting, in reality, most of the storytelling and ideation happens before we even show up.
Non profit video production can be incredibly powerful given the right story and development.
Before setting foot on set, we want to get to know your organization and find out about the difference you are making in the community. By getting an insider’s look, we are able to develop a story that not only speaks to your organization’s objectives but also targets your ideal viewers for maximum engagement. Then once we have determined the story and who would be the best narrators of that story, we get to work determining what footage is necessary to tell this story effectively.
How much does non-profit video cost?
We believe that part of our mission as video production professionals is to use our craft to help make a difference in the community. Although we aren’t able to offer our nonprofit films for free, we do offer a discount for our nonprofit clients. Depending on the length, style, and scope we typically work with non-profit budgets starting around 8k-60k. It may sound like a lot, but trust us, we’ve helped organizations raise hundreds of thousands. One thing is for sure, emotional videos sure make an impact on our viewers.
What types of non-profit videos do you produce?
Fundraising Videos
We believe that through using authentic and emotional storytelling, we are able to connect with our viewers in ways other forms of media simply can not. We believe attracting potential donors is not about simply asking for donations, but showing them the impact that the organization is having on the community. We often use these videos to show potential donors on how and why your organization was founded. Receiving altruism from others is much easier when it’s evident the good you are doing for the world!
Gala Videos
Although much of today’s gatherings are on hold, we believe that it has never been a better time to connect with your viewers virtually. Use video to excite donors and honorees about your charitable cause and upcoming event. Then we can live-stream your event on youtube/Facebook live or another platform. When the event is over, we can create a teaser video to remind everyone how incredible your event was! We’ve found these videos are about building momentum and continuing it into the quarter as your organization grows.
