Agency-quality storytelling, sized for small nonprofits

Seven years telling the Mona Foundation’s story

7 years

11 Countries

16 Field Trips

$ 5,000,0000 Funds Raised

Mona Foundation partners with grassroots schools and education programs in 25 countries, far from most of the donors who fund them. In a feed full of stock images and AI, Mona wanted supporters to see the real places and people their giving reaches, and they've invested in showing it.

I travel with Mona on donor trips and site visits. I look past the "about us" footage to individual stories. I've lost count of the parents, students, and teachers I've interviewed, and hearing how these partnerships have changed their lives never stops amazing me. Back home, I shape that footage into films and photos that give a website visitor or a donor a real feeling of being there, so their gift no longer feels abstract.

Over seven years, I've captured thousands of images and hundreds of hours of video, and turned them into more edits and deliverables than I can count. Each trip built on the last, as I came to know the partners, the programs, and the story Mona wants to tell. That archive serves Mona and its partner organizations alike, helping them all raise the money that keeps the work of education going.
