Dear 2024 EOYM Grant Applicant,

Thank you for the time, effort, and passion dedicated to the grant application process. The commitment to storytelling was clear, and it’s been a privilege to learn about such impactful work. Please feel free to add us to your mailing list—we’d love to stay updated on future accomplishments.

After carefully reviewing 123 applications, we are excited to announce this year’s recipients of pro bono video production services. The selection process was rigorous, aiming to support organizations ready to make the most immediate use of video for their cause.

This year, EOYM strategically selected three distinct types of projects: international, national, and local, reflecting our commitment to broadening impact across various levels. These five organizations were chosen for their potential to leverage video for visibility and outreach:

• Build Change (Nepal)
• The Motivational Edge (Miami and Vero Beach)
• Girl Scouts of Central Maryland (Maryland)
• Girl Scouts of Tropical Florida (South Florida)
• Girl Scouts of Jersey Shore (New Jersey)

We recognize this announcement may be disappointing for those not chosen, but there’s more ahead. We’ve developed a new Virtual Masterclass and are exploring the possibility of 50/50 Matching Grants to fund 2-5 additional projects. Stay tuned for details in upcoming emails.

Jessica Kizorek, EOYM’s executive director, shares: “Demand for video production services in the nonprofit sector has grown far beyond what we can provide. To address this need, we’re launching the EOYM Nonprofit Video Production Masterclass Series. This virtual program will empower organizations to create impactful videos by partnering with local producers, including talented youth.”

This Masterclass, blending our video production grant and teaching academy programs, will mentor nonprofits through the process of video creation. 118 applicants will be invited to participate, building partnerships with local producers to bring their stories to life.

We encourage you to stay in touch and consider reapplying in the future. Many applicants receive funding after multiple attempts, and additional projects may be funded through the 50/50 Matching Grants.

Warm regards,
Mike Firmature, President
Ellen Bristol, Vice-President
Miriam “Mimi” King, Secretary
Jessica Kizorek, Executive Director
