Services

What YOU do:

You run a nonprofit.  You put your heart and soul into helping people every day.

You do whatever it takes to provide services to the people in your community.

You’re changing lives, you’re saving lives, and we know quite often you’re doing it with half the budget you really need.  Your funding and donations go to programming and services first, but at the same time, you have to TELL people about what you are doing.

That is where we come in.  We help tell your story.  

What WE do:

We help the helpers communicate.

We do creative. We make videos, shoot photos, design things, write words, host/emcee stuff, and help with social media.  We want to do this work for nonprofits as our little contribution to making the world a better place.

And the best part?  We do it at no cost for nonprofits.  Confused squirrel says, “WHAT?”  I know, but it’s true!  Our goal in 2018 as we begin this crazy adventure is to help at least 2 nonprofits per month with projects falling into one of the categories we currently offer:

Video Production:  15 seconds to 5 minutes  –  PSAs/Event Promos/Explainers/Capital Campaigns

Still Photography:  Photographs.  Still ones.  Not moving.  You probably figured this one out on your own

Graphic Design:  Brochures/Posters/Tri-folds/Annual Reports/Print Ads/Logos (Logos – Time permitting)

Radio/Audio:  Audio presentations or radio spots

(and assistance with SOCIAL MEDIA implementation of your project)

NOW, sadly that doesn’t mean we can do ALL of those things for you, but there might be some crossover. We might be able to do some still photography while shooting a video, but unfortunately we can’t make a video AND design your annual report.

Smaller Projects – We hope to SQUEEZE smaller projects in when we can.  You just need one really nice head shot of your Executive Director for a fancy conference thing? If we can, we’ll do our best to work in smaller projects time permitting, so please don’t hesitate to apply.

What we do NOT do:

We are not an ad agency. We’re not going to meet with you and create an advertising campaign around the services you do. We’re here to fulfill a need that you have in the media production area. You want to create a 3-minute video to promote an upcoming event, a new program or a capital campaign? We will work with you to produce and shoot the video.

That said, we will provide plenty of input on how to best craft your message.  You can say, “Awesome, thanks for the fantastic advice” or “No, thanks, just do it our way.”  Our job is to deliver the message you need, make sure the message sticks, and make you happy at the end of the day.

How it Works

If you are interested in working with us, please visit our APPLY page on this site and fill out the form.   Please know that as we start out, we may receive 4 requests for work or 153.  We will respond whether we can take on your job or not, but please understand that we may not be able to help everyone right away.

If we take on a project for you, please wait one year before applying again.

Our Workflow…

We work with each nonprofit for roughly 2 consecutive weeks.  Some projects will take less time and obviously some will take more, but we work in 2 week chunks to create your project.  

What you will provide…

Whatever your project is, you will be the Executive Producer. For example, if you need a video created, you will help put all of the pieces together: on-camera talent, locations, content, etc.  Again, this is an area where we will be able to provide guidance and assistance to help things flow smoothly throughout the production, but you will be in charge of a good portion of the pre-production and paper edit.
