Video Production for Grant Funded Projects
Grant writing can be a complex process, but specifying video production as a deliverable can enhance the likelihood of securing funding. All Business Videography has an extensive background in creating custom videos for non-profits and businesses that require tangible outputs for their grant applications.
Experienced grant writers understand the distinction between outputs and outcomes. While outcomes can be unpredictable, outputs are controllable. For instance, if a grant is awarded for promoting healthy eating, producing a 2-minute video on nutrition for the program's website serves as a manageable output.
Atlas Network, an international organization assisting with grant-related nuances, emphasizes the importance of outputs. They cite "an online video and targeted social media campaign communicating the potential impact of the research findings on real people."

Video Production for Grant Funded Projects
Workshops funded by grants are prime candidates for videos as deliverable outputs. Such videos extend the workshop's reach, allowing individuals interested in the cause to access the content even after the event concludes, thereby serving as a lasting resource.
In 2018, DeSarle produced a video series for a historic preservation workshop in Kansas. This event, titled "Tombstones on the Kansas Prairie: A Cemetery Conservation Workshop," was funded by a Historic Preservation Fund grant. This grant was provided by the Kansas State Historic Preservation Office, with support from the Douglas County Commission and the City of Lawrence.
Additionally, DeSarle collaborated with the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation on a project addressing climate change. Funded by a grant, the tribe organized a workshop series and utilized video to disseminate their message, focusing on how tribal nations are at the forefront of understanding environmental impacts.
In 2016, DeSarle produced a short film highlighting a Mexican-American community in Topeka, Kansas. This project was funded by the Latino Americans: 500 Years of History programming initiative.
The production included interviews with community members and historians. All Business Videography relies on interviews and action footage as a main ingredient of its documentary work.
This documentary is made possible by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). It partners with the American Library Association (ALA) as part of an NEH initiative, The Common Good: The Humanities in the Public Square.
Our team collaborates with grant writers during the development of statements of work, ensuring that the proposed video production aligns with the budget and effectively serves as a grant-funded deliverable.
Incorporating drone videography into productions can further elevate the quality and impact of grant-funded videos by capturing stunning aerial perspectives that enhance storytelling and engagement. All Business Videography owner/operator Matt DeSarle is a commercially licensed pilot and teams up with other drone videographers to ensure coverage in a wide footprint.
Engaging a videographer early in the grant application process ensures that video production is strategically planned rather than an afterthought. Having a cost estimate upfront helps shape the narrative, providing clarity on what the final production could look like. It helps shape the budget. Finally, it can give a head start once funding is secured. Connect through the contact form or email sales@allbusinessvideography.com today to start the conversation.
