How ORGANIZATIONS WORK WITH US

How Nonprofits Work With Us

Most organizations start with one video. The ones who see the biggest results make

storytelling a year-round habit. We have options for both.

Package 1 — The Impact Video

Starting at $5,000

Your most important video. An Impact Video helps donors quickly understand who you

serve, why your work matters, and what their support makes possible in two minutes

or less.

Use it at your gala. Put it on your homepage. Show it in donor meetings. It’s the video

that does the heavy lifting everywhere it goes.

Package 2 — Content Capture Day

Starting at $1,500

One day of filming. Multiple stories delivered. We come to you, capture interviews and

b-roll, and deliver a set of short videos ready to use across social media, email, and

events.

Ideal for organizations that need consistent content without committing to a full

production schedule.

Package 3 — The Annual Storytelling Plan

Starting at $3,000/month

Most of our long-term clients work this way.

Instead of one video at a time, we help you build a library of stories and a plan for using

them throughout the year across fundraising campaigns, events, and donor

communication, and social media.

You get a dedicated team that already knows your mission, your people, and your

voice.

Why storytelling works in fundraising

WHY DOES STORYTELLING WORK?

People give to people, not to problems.

A single story about a person, a family, or a community makes the mission personal and relatable in a way statistics alone cannot.

1. Stories create emotional connection

Donating is an emotional decision, followed by a rational one.
A good story helps donors feel the impact before they think about the logistics of giving.

2. Stories show transformation

A strong story shows what life was like before, what changed, and what’s possible because of support.

3. Stories make your mission memorable

People may forget statistics, but they remember stories.

4. Stories give donors a role to play

Instead of “we need money,” the story becomes
“you can help make this possible.”

5. Stories spread more easily than statistics

Stories are shared. Statistics are not.

Now What?

Every engagement is guided by The Blueprint

Most nonprofits don’t need just one video.
They need a plan to use stories throughout the year for fundraising, events, campaigns, and donor communication.
That’s why we created The Blueprint, our framework for helping nonprofits plan, create, and use stories to grow support over time.

1️⃣ The Foundation
We start by identifying the right stories and placing your video where your audience will actually find it : your website, your email campaigns, your event program.

2️⃣ The Frame
We help you get your story in front of people as often and in as many places as possible. A video no one sees doesn’t raise money.

3️⃣ The Roof
We measure what’s working. Views, engagement, and donations tied to campaigns. Once you know what moves people, you can do more of it.
