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. We recently secured funds that will allow us to produce at least one video every summer for a nonprofit anywhere in the world for the next 4 years. The 2022 grant application window opened on May 16th, 2022 and will close eight weeks later on July 18th, 2022.

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 that exhibit innovation, creativity and future-thinking. The 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.

RECENT GRANT RECIPIENTS: Child Rescue Coalition receives top honors for its work to protect children from online predators with cutting edge software. Girl Scouts of Tropical Florida, Urgent, Inc, and the YWCA of Greater Miami-Dade will also all be receiving free services, which will coincide with EOYM’s “Filmmaking For Good” Virtual Training Intensive, which those three nonprofits will be facilitating directly with their young people. Matching grant winners include HopeWins7.org, the Bold Beauty Project and Boys & Girls Club, Martin County.
