Your gala video isn't just another item in the budget. It's often the one moment that determines whether guests simply enjoy the evening—or truly connect with your mission.

When the lights go down, you have a few short minutes to turn first-time attendees into believers, inspire generosity, and remind longtime supporters why your work matters. Get that moment right and it can transform your fundraising. Get it wrong and even a beautifully planned event can miss its biggest opportunity.

You don't need to become a video producer to make smart decisions about your gala video. You need a framework for knowing what works, what doesn't, and where your budget will have the greatest impact.

Whether you're hiring a production company or producing content in-house, this hands-on workshop will help you make confident decisions about strategy, storytelling, budgeting, and production so your video supports what really matters: raising more money for your mission.

Imagine sitting down with your board or planning committee knowing exactly:

• How much to budget for video.

• When hiring a production company makes sense.

• When an in-house approach is enough.

• What story will inspire people to give.

• How every video supports your fundraising strategy.

That's what you'll walk away with.

IF YOU'VE EVER WONDERED...

• Is hiring a professional production company really worth the investment?

• How do we know if our video budget is money well spent?

• Could our team produce this ourselves without sacrificing results?

• What actually makes donors care enough to give?

• How do we create a video that people remember long after the event ends?

This workshop is designed to answer those questions before you commit your budget.

YOU'LL LEAVE KNOWING HOW TO:

• Build a gala video strategy that supports fundraising before, during, and after your event so every piece of content has a clear purpose.

• Avoid costly production mistakes by creating realistic budgets, scopes of work, timelines, and RFPs that lead to stronger outcomes.

• Discover and shape authentic stories that move donors from understanding your mission to investing in it.

• Confidently decide when hiring a professional production partner creates real fundraising value—and when an in-house approach is the smarter choice.

THIS ISN’T A FILMMAKING CLASS

It's a practical workshop for nonprofit leaders who want to make confident video decisions, maximize every dollar they invest, and create the kind of fundraising moments that inspire generosity long after the gala ends.

Your gala happens once a year. The decisions you make before the cameras ever roll will have a bigger impact on your fundraising than the cameras themselves.
