The country’s bleak economic picture has put the future of many nonprofit organizations in jeopardy. Donors are cutting back on their giving, while some are just scared to make the leap altogether. So what can a nonprofit do to encourage donations and volunteerism? The answer: VIDEO! Don’t just send out appeal letters and make phone calls, actually show people who you are, what your organization does and how donors can help it thrive by volunteering time and money. The Nonprofit Storytelling Filmmaking Workshop will teach you how to bring your nonprofit into the social media and viral video age.
The workshop is part of the Benevolent Media Festival, an all-volunteer project celebrating storytelling and design for good. You’ll learn how to incorporate video into your nonprofit’s outreach mission. This event will show you how documenting your nonprofit’s mission on film can bring your organization closer to its goals. So join veteran producer Liz Norton, the Benevolent Media Festival and DCWEEK for the Nonprofit Storytelling Filmmaking Workshop on Monday, November 7, 2011 from 10:30 am – 12:00 pm at the World Resources Institute (10 G St, NE Suite 800 – Washington, DC 20002) to bring a new focus to your nonprofit.
