FREE VIDEO GRANT WINDOW NOW OPEN: It is our pleasure to invite you to this year’s pro bono video grant. The name, “Eyes On Your Mission,” springs from our desire to help nonprofits get more eyes (i.e new donors and supporters) on their mission. The annual Eyes On Your Mission Free Video Grant provides nonprofits with a free video production and visual storytelling promotional package including: communications strategy, videos, still photos and social media content.
Grants have been awarded to selected nonprofits since 2005 that have exhibited innovation, creativity and future-thinking. This grant is international, multi-lingual and considers a diverse range of causes and organizations. We are headquartered in Miami and Chicago, however, any NGO globally is eligible and invited to apply. We encourage previous applicants to apply again with fresh updated ideas. Timing is everything, so sometimes a nonprofit can apply several times before being chosen. The primary creative collective that donates their videography and photography services has been working as a team for over 10 years.
