Inspire vision and giving. Share your organization’s mission through video. We’ll create a short overview of your organization’s work—using approved footage you provide or footage gathered by Unseen—that engages donors and inspires them to get involved. ‍

‍Videos are ~3 minutes long, in English, and are designed for fundraising. They follow the Unseen Story Arc—addressing the problem your organization is solving, the programs you have in place, your inspiring vision for the future, and a call to action. It may include a quote from the director or a brief testimonial from a beneficiary. Videos can be used as an intro to a speaking engagement, in a one-to-one meeting, in email, or on social media. We’ll make it as evergreen as possible, with the goal that you can use your new video for 3+ years. ‍

This product is awarded annually via application. Please see details below.
