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! We began this crazy adventure in 2018 with a goal 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
BDU QH: The “Quick Hitter” A 2 – 3 hour creative project vs a 2 week project. (see Smaller Projects below)
(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.
Big Dreamers United does not create work for:
Political Candidates
Religious organizations for religious purposes
