Advance YOUR VISION
with a digital media vision story

Overview:
This 6-to 8-minute vision story video weaves together interviews with the institutional leaders who are driving your important project or plan, and the faculty and students who will benefit from its fulfillment. The resulting narrative is blended with inspiring campus and project visuals and a stirring music score to paint a compelling picture of your realized project and the positive impact it will produce—not only for the institution, but for society as well.

Purpose:
Donors respond best when they feel involved in something big, important, and meaningful.  A well-crafted vision story uses the multi-sensory power of video to describe the significance of your project—why it’s necessary and how it will make a difference for people and society—and, ultimately, move your audience to action. 

Multiple uses:
Your own Vision Story can be used to:

• Launch your fundraising campaign with a strong and concise message
• Emotionally engage key constituencies and potential donors during group or individual presentations
• Increase the effectiveness your project team and volunteers with a powerful communication tool
• Rally the support, pride, and optimism of your entire institution
• Enhance donor development calls, as part of a presentation or as a leave-behind
• Build a strong foundation to raise more private dollars
