What are nonprofit explainer videos?

A nonprofit video is a form of video content created by a charitable organization to achieve several objectives. It serves to raise awareness about the organization, engage its supporters, and effectively communicate its mission. These videos typically encompass a variety of topics related to the nonprofit’s work, impact, and goals. Their ultimate aim is to inspire viewers to take action, whether that means making donations, volunteering, or spreading the organization’s message. Often, nonprofit videos utilize compelling storytelling to tug at the heartstrings of the audience, forging a strong emotional connection and motivating people to support the nonprofit’s cause.

Nonprofit explainer video production FAQs

Is there a proven formula for effective nonprofit video storytelling?

While there’s no one-size-fits-all formula, successful nonprofit video storytelling often follows a pattern. It typically begins by highlighting a problem or challenge, emphasizing the pain point or predicament. Then, it transitions to a happier and improved “new” state, often involving characters. This story should align with the transformation your nonprofit aims to create. It’s a powerful way to communicate your nonprofit’s mission clearly. Don’t forget to conclude with a call to action, urging viewers to donate, volunteer, or spread the word.

How do nonprofits measure the success of their video marketing efforts? 

Nonprofits have various ways to measure video marketing success. For “off-site” marketing, you can track video views, engagement metrics (likes, shares, comments), and click-through rates to your website or donation page. Audience retention, indicating how long people watch, helps assess content effectiveness. Conversion rates, such as donations or volunteer sign-ups resulting from the video, gauge the bottom-line ROI. Additionally, feedback from supporters provides valuable insights into whether your video marketing is fulfilling its purpose. Success ultimately hinges on achieving your specific goals, whether it’s raising funds, increasing awareness, or mobilizing support.

What role does music selection play in nonprofit video production? 

Music selection is pivotal in nonprofit video production, setting the emotional tone and enhancing storytelling impact. The right music aligns with the video’s message and audience, whether it’s upbeat tunes for celebratory moments or heartfelt melodies for touching stories. Music reinforces the narrative, making the video more memorable and emotionally engaging, ultimately encouraging support for the nonprofit’s cause.

What are the best platforms and strategies for nonprofit videos? 

The choice of platforms and strategies for nonprofit videos depends on your specific goals. Social media platforms like Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram are effective for building awareness, as video content often reaches audiences’ news feeds at a higher rate than text and static images. Your own channels, such as your website and email newsletters, are ideal for engaging existing supporters directly. To expand your reach, consider paid advertising for targeted outreach. Regardless of the platform, engage with comments and collaborate with partners to amplify your video’s impact.
