Materials release

For photos or video someone took themselves, such as a volunteer's smartphone clips.

  • Plain-language permission to use photos or video someone shares with you

  • A place to list exactly which files they're sharing

  • What it doesn't cover: footage from a filmmaker you hired before needs their license

  • A Word file: add your organization's name and it's ready to print

Free, no sign-up.

This is a template, not legal advice. Have your organization’s own counsel review it before you use it.
