Why nonprofit pricing is different

Budgets are tight. Stories still have to move people.

Nonprofit projects often run on fiscal-year cycles, grant reporting, and donor expectations. We scope around real constraints while keeping the craft intact.

Mission-first casting

We don't bring in actors unless the story demands it. Real beneficiaries, staff, volunteers, and community members are the faces of the film — which keeps costs lower and authenticity higher.

Multi-use deliverables

One shoot day can produce a gala film, social cutdowns, donor email content, and website assets. We plan deliverables from the start so nothing is wasted.

Grant-friendly reporting

Quotes are itemized, timelines are clear, and deliverables are documented so you can report back to boards, funders, and finance teams.

Real-world nonprofit work

Nonprofit films we've produced.

Impact Short & Awareness Campaign

Awareness Campaign

Impact Short

Global Santa Fe

Who are we?

A concise identity film for the Santa Fe Council on International Relations, built to introduce the organization, its people, and its global mission to new audiences.

Quote factors

What moves the number.

Length of final film

A 90-second gala opener and a 12-minute documentary require very different post-production timelines and music budgets.

Number of filming days

Single-location interviews keep costs predictable. Multi-city stories or event coverage add travel, crew, and gear days.

Deliverable versions

Hero films, social cuts, 9:16 Reels, captioned versions, and translated subtitles each affect the scope.

Motion graphics & archival

Lower thirds, animated maps, data visualization, and archival licensing are scoped separately.

How it works

From first call to finished film in three steps.

01

Discovery call

We learn your mission, audience, timeline, and what success looks like for this specific film or campaign.

02

Scope & story plan

We recommend a tier, map deliverables, identify interview subjects, and lock logistics so you can present a clear plan internally.

03

Fixed nonprofit quote

One number, one timeline, one deliverables list — no surprises, and written for grant or board approval.
