How Can Video Change the World?

Video creates powerful, immediate, and emotional connections between people and causes. Organizations should be given the opportunity to easily publicize problems that need to be solved, abuses that need to be corrected, achievements that deserve to be celebrated, and stories that need to be told. Video has the potential to be an everyday tool to inspire and communicate.

How Can Foundations Help?

Many organizations will be unable to fund their Spotlight Kits directly or meet the eligibility requirements to become participating partners. As 501(c)(3) organizations, many foundations have a unique opportunity to enable their grantees to participate in the Flip Video Spotlight Program by purchasing Kits directly. Please contact Marci Glazer, Executive Director at spotlight@puredigitalinc.com for details.
