I’m currently a Chairman, so I know the 'non-profit struggle' is real.
I’m breaking the status quo by offering professional-grade production to organizations that deserve to look as good as their mission. High-end visuals shouldn't be reserved for corporate giants with endless budgets. If you’re a non-profit doing real work, I’m the secret weapon you didn't think you could afford (because, for the right cause, you don't have to).
I’ve sat in the boardroom, and I know the 'non-profit look.' Usually, it’s a blurry photo from a 2014 fundraiser or a video with so much wind noise you can't hear the call to action. I’m defying the status quo because your cause is too important to look like an amateur hour production. I provide the same 'Main Character' energy for non-profits that I do for corporate clients—the only difference is the invoice.
I only take on a handful of pro-bono projects a year, and I don't give them to just anyone. I’m looking for organizations that are:
Action-Oriented: You’re actually moving the needle, not just talking about it.
Visual-Ready: You have a story that needs to be seen and heard.
Legit: You have a clear mission and a registered status.
I offer the following to my select non-profit partners:
Impact videos: Short, high-energy videos for social media fundraising.
Portraits: Professional headshots for your board or staff.
Event Coverage: Capturing the moments that make your donors say 'wow.'
Audio Polishing: Making sure your message sounds as professional as your mission.
Because of my background in leadership, I don’t just show up and press 'record.' I help you figure out how to use the content to actually drive donations or awareness. Think of me as your temporary Creative Director who happens to know how a board meeting works.
