WHAT WE DID

Every year, IslandWood invites us to help create an immersive experience for their donors at the “Dinner in the Woods” fundraiser.

We work together with their capable communication and philanthropy teams to craft videos that hit on exactly what donors want to see—kids learning about the environment and how to be powerful activists now and in their futures.

Two to three videos are interspersed into the show flow, creating the perfect emotional arc, enabling large donations. The IslandWood staff shared with us recently that Governor Inslee was so inspired by the videos and the show that he doubled the gift he was intending to give that evening.

See below for some of the videos we have produced and some images from the evening on the IslandWood campus.
