Nothing raises money like a real person describing how your work changed their life. Colorado has one of the densest nonprofit communities in the country, and the organizations that thrive are the ones that tell their impact honestly and cinematically — not with statistics alone.
SeventhSlate specializes in the story interview. We sit with a beneficiary, a volunteer, or a longtime donor and draw out the moment that captures your mission, then cut it into a film built for your gala, your campaign, and your year-end appeal.
Stories we help nonprofits tell
- Beneficiary stories. The person whose life your work changed, telling it in their own words.
- Donor & supporter stories. Why they give — social proof that inspires others to join them.
- Volunteer & staff stories. The people behind the mission, told with warmth.
- Program & impact films. A clear, moving picture of the change you create.
We film sensitive stories with care and informed consent, and we work within your privacy and safeguarding requirements. This is general guidance — we follow your organization’s policies.
Where these films go to work
- Galas and fundraising events
- Year-end and campaign appeals (email + landing pages)
- Grant applications and board presentations
- Social media and your website
