How Planned Giving Videos Help Organizations Succeed

Planned giving videos turn complex giving concepts into clear and heartfelt stories. Nonprofits use them to educate donors about bequests and endowments, while foundations rely on them to share real examples of impact.

By showing how legacy gifts make a difference, organizations can increase awareness, build trust, and motivate future donors to take action.

FAQs About Planned Giving Video Production

We produce donor stories, legacy spotlights, educational explainers, and mission videos that highlight the long-term impact of planned gifts.

By showcasing real stories and authentic gratitude, our videos make donors feel valued and demonstrate how their legacy creates lasting change.

Yes. We create easy-to-understand educational videos that clearly outline giving methods such as bequests, charitable gift annuities, and endowments.

We can do both. MiniMatters often films real donors and staff for authenticity, but we can also use voiceovers or actors when preferred.

Videos can be shared on websites, during donor meetings, and in fundraising campaigns, helping sustain donor relationships and encourage future gifts.

With 15+ years of experience, MiniMatters combines fundraising insight and storytelling expertise to create videos that motivate action and inspire lasting legacy gifts.
