AN INITIATIVE OF 1708 MEDIA
The 1708 Story Grant
A free professional video for one Central Texas nonprofit. No strings attached.
We’re selecting one Central Texas nonprofit and producing a free 60-second mission video for them. Same crew. Same quality. No cost.
What Is the 1708 Story Grant?
1708 Media is an Emmy Award-winning video production company built specifically for nonprofits. We’ve spent years helping mission-driven organizations tell their stories, and this summer, we’re doing it for free.
The 1708 Story Grant is our way of giving back to the Central Texas nonprofit community. We’re selecting one organization and producing a polished 60-second brand video, the same quality we deliver on paid engagements.
Tell us about your organization and why video storytelling would make a difference for you right now. We’ll review every submission and choose the organization we believe we can help most.
