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.

“Kelly has been with us for the past several years, is truly gifted, and entirely trusted. I’m grateful for his amazing eyes and skills. He tells the story so effectively and works so hard to make it happen. His impact stories and day-in-the-life videos are very powerful. We show them at our events, and they are very well received.”
