Voices of Change — Documentary
A fundraising documentary film capturing the human impact of GRAND Foundation's community grant programmes — produced for donor campaigns and public awareness.
01 — Task
GRAND Foundation needed a nonprofit documentary video that would move beyond statistics and communicate authentic human stories behind their grant programmes to donors, media, and the general public. The charity film had to function as both a standalone fundraising video and a public awareness asset across social channels.
02 — Solution
We filmed an observational documentary across three beneficiary programmes — each story told intimately in under four minutes — then edited into a 12-minute feature and a 3-minute fundraising cut. The nonprofit video production prioritised genuine testimony over scripted narration, using natural light and a minimal crew to keep subjects at ease.
03 — Result
The documentary was the centrepiece of the Foundation's annual fundraising campaign, contributing to a 34% year-on-year increase in donations. The short cut reached 22,000 views across LinkedIn and YouTube and attracted two new corporate sponsorships within six months of release.
