APPLY FOR A GRANT
What Are Our Grants?
Our grants will finance and produce a promotional video for your non-profit organization at an affordable rate. This includes organizing, shooting, editing, and distributing a 3–5-minute film that promotes and advocates your organization’s cause. Organizations that receive our grants are free to use our video for any purpose they choose whether it be to post on their website, to show at a fundraising gala, or to send to prospective donors.
FAQs
+ What we’re looking for
Your organization must have a 501(c)3 status. It’s also strongly suggested that your charity be rated on CharityNavigator.com. Having said that, your organization should have tangible, real goals about what it wants to promote/cure/raise awareness about! Have a clear vision of what a PSA would be like for your charity.
+ What we need from you
Explain to us why a short video would best support your cause. Where would it be played? And who is your audience? Be aware of important deadlines: Should videos be up on your website by a certain date? Need it ready to be played on a big screen at this season’s fundraiser? Let us know and be reasonable about what needs to be done at appropriate times. This ensures we can provide quality filming, editing, and organization.
