Elevate Your Video Storytelling

January 15th
Free Online Webinar

Fundraising videos require a significant investment of time, energy, and money. Too often, nonprofits treat them as a one-night event asset when they could be the foundation of a much broader communications strategy. Reuben Herzl shares a practical framework for turning a single fundraising video into a campaign asset that creates value well beyond the gala.

Learning Outcomes

  • Rethink the investment: Plan your fundraising video as the centerpiece of a campaign—not just a gala presentation.

  • Design for greater impact: How to plan your video project so it generates value far beyond the finished film.

  • Put your story to work: Extend your video's impact before, during, and after your event—creating more meaningful donor touchpoints.
