Inside Our Video Work for a Non Profit

Ricky Doyle

Some of our most gratifying work at 1708 Media comes from partnering with a variety of nonprofit organizations to produce videos that articulate the important and inspiring work they perform and most importantly help them reach new fundraising heights. 


This year we’ve had the amazing opportunity to work with the Daniel Murphy Scholarship Fund and our friends at The Proper Group to create a variety of video content to support DMSF’s mission. The Daniel Murphy Scholarship Fund has provided educational opportunities for talented Chicago-area students facing financial need since 1989.


The Proper Group asked us to help support DMSF with a full-year plan of video content to use at various events throughout 2024 to increase fundraising and effectively communicate the work and success DMSF has achieved. Our team has made multiple trips to Chicago (more to come!) this year to cover different events. 


Here’s an overview of the content we’re producing for DMSF in 2024:

Thanks to the incredible work of The Proper Group, an amazing event and at least in part due to the stories we were able to tell in the videos for this year’s Golf Classic, DMSF raised more than $3 million at this spring’s event! 


We’ve seen similar results for other nonprofit organizations that we’ve been lucky enough to support. It is the missions - and the incredible work these groups perform - that must be communicated. Videos allow nonprofits to:


  1. Establish an emotional connection with their audience and tell the stories of their beneficiaries.

  2. Create visually engaging content. Stories come to life through video. Supporters will better understand and relate to the work the organization performs.

  3. Increase their reach. The video assets DMSF is producing this year can be used immediately at their events, but also shared through different mediums in the future. The videos can be used to attract new donors and further engage their existing donor base. 


We look forward to many more years of helping the Daniel Murphy Scholarship Fund and other amazing organizations share their stories and raise funds to support their missions.
