Take, for example, this video from First Descents.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In just over two minutes, the viewer learns about the organization\u2019s purpose, meets the founder, and gets a feel for the nonprofit\u2019s principles and programs. Even in the absence of words, the images depicting the programs give viewers a sense of the people involved and what matters to them.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-falling-whistles\">2.

We\u2019ve categorized it as an awareness video because it doesn\u2019t really delve into the organization\u2019s programs specifically. Instead, the video educates the audience on the scope of the wider problem (and the corresponding opportunity for impact) using text, numbers, and illustrations.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It then introduces Girl Effect as a part of the solution and invites viewers to its website to learn more. With nearly two million views on YouTube, it has raised considerable awareness.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a class=\"c-btn-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/gofundme.to\/__proxy\/pro.gofundme.com\/blog\/nonprofit-video-marketing-trends-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\">6 Nonprofit Video Marketing Trends &amp; Tips<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-mama-hope\">4.

However, that doesn\u2019t mean awareness videos must be sad to make a point. This <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nonprofit video<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from Mama Hope uses humor to call out media-driven stereotypes of African men in a playful way.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Through its creativity, the video helps to deconstruct those stereotypes and promote the organization\u2019s fundamental message of educational empowerment.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-ric-o-barry-s-dolphin-project\">5.

In just two minutes, the viewer develops a strong understanding of the problem that Ric O\u2019Barry\u2019s Dolphin Project addresses. The <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">call to action<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?
