The video could feature footage from our events and endorsements from recognized advocates, policymakers, and legislators. We can provide some raw footage but would need assistance in compiling and editing the video. Also, the volunteer could provide one day of filming when he/she does short interviews with IWPR staff and allies giving endorsements of our work.

The video should include footage of our events, clips of individuals endorsing our work, graphics and quotes, and music. We would like it to be catchy and fast-moving but still reflect the mission of our organization, as reputable, accurate research organization for issues critical to women and families.

Viral videos aren’t just the provenance of fluffy kittens and wayward celebrities. Do good orgs can too! Bring in one of our professional filmmakers to script, direct and edit a polished, fast paced 1-3 minute video that synthesizes your most powerful messages and makes the viewer desperate to know more.
