# 1708 Media > Donor storytelling system for nonprofits. We build reusable story assets that work across fundraising, stewardship, and donor engagement, not just one-off videos. 1708 Media is a video production agency focused exclusively on mission-driven nonprofit organizations. We work with Development Directors, Communications Directors, and Executive Directors to plan and produce video content that drives donations, builds donor relationships, and elevates organizational storytelling beyond a single event or campaign moment. Our approach centers on the "storytelling system." Instead of producing one-off videos that play once and disappear, we plan content that works across multiple touchpoints: galas, donor stewardship, social media, board updates, and year-round donor follow-up. Our team brings 30+ years of Emmy-winning broadcast journalism experience to nonprofit storytelling, with particular expertise in donor psychology, fundraising campaign strategy, and milestone anniversary campaigns. ## Services - [Mission Videos](https://www.1708media.com/services/mission-videos): Foundational mission storytelling that clarifies the mission and fuels ongoing donor connection across campaigns, events, and key moments - [Fundraising & Campaign Videos](https://www.1708media.com/services/fundraising-videos): Story-driven centerpiece films for galas, capital campaigns, and giving days, designed to extend impact beyond a single event - [Social & Donor Engagement Videos](https://www.1708media.com/services/social-media-videos): Consistent, platform-ready content that keeps the mission visible between major fundraising moments - [Thought Leadership & Leader Videos](https://www.1708media.com/services/thought-leadership-videos): On-camera content featuring executives, founders, and subject experts - [Training & Orientation Videos](https://www.1708media.com/services/training-orientation-videos): Human-centered onboarding for staff, volunteers, and boards - [All Services](https://www.1708media.com/services): Complete services overview ## Editorial Content - [What One Production Day Should Produce: Notes From a Week of Shoots](https://www.1708media.com/blog/what-one-production-day-should-produce): Four projects across Houston, San Antonio, and Austin in one week.
