Once a year, we partner with a local Indiana nonprofit to craft a video, free of cost, showcasing their mission-driven work and its impact. We understand the limitations community-based organizations face in directing funding to video and marketing projects. Simultaneously, we are uniquely positioned to fill this need - using our team’s talents to contribute in the best way we know how – video.
Our intention is to arm our nonprofit partners with a compelling feature video that captures their vision and bolsters their fundraising, programming and impact goals.
Who should apply?
Indiana 501(c)(3) nonprofits who have a timely story to tell, but don’t have the funds allocated to invest in a high-quality video.
We are especially interested in working with those organizations that have a vision for how to best leverage their video once it is produced.
How might it support your strategic plan? In what ways does it tie into your fundraising and marketing strategies for 2026-2027?
How is the awardee selected?
Once the application process ends, our team will review all applications, and a winner will be selected based on the following criteria:
Ability to show current need
Current & potential community impact
Ability to show how the organization will leverage the video
What does the awardee receive?
Our creative team will work with the GiveBack awardee to produce a feature video that tells the organization’s story, valued at $30,000. This will include pre-production creative development, multiple production days, as needed, and post-production.
We will also work with your organization to deliver shorter social media pieces that you can leverage on social platforms.
Why do you offer the GiveBack?
We love this program. There are many ways we are committed to contributing to our local community, but this one is unique for us. We get to do what we do best, contribute our creative energy to causes that matter to us and our community, and work alongside incredible nonprofit partners. It’s a win/win for everyone.
We’ve been asked if we offer this as a business development strategy. Absolutely not. This is a donated feature video, no strings. We do hope to continue a relationship with our previous recipients, but only to continue to support their impact on our community.
