Introduction
One of the first questions we hear is: “What does a fundraising video cost?” We believe in transparency, so here’s a breakdown of what to expect when hiring a video production team like Onwards Collective.
What Impacts Cost?
Length of video (social clip vs. 10-minute gala film)
Complexity (single interview vs. multi-day, multi-location shoot)
Crew size (solo shooter vs. full production team)
Editing (simple cut vs. advanced graphics, color grading, multi-language captions)
Typical Ranges
Small social campaign: $3,000–$5,000
Fundraising/brand story film: $10,000–$25,000+
Larger multi-film campaigns: $30,000+
What’s Included
Discovery & story planning
Interview questions + scripting support
Production (filming, lighting, sound)
Post-production (editing, sound design, color)
Multiple revisions + delivery formats (gala screens, web, socials)
Why It’s Worth It
When a fundraising video inspires donors, the ROI is immediate. A single donor moved by your story can cover the entire cost of production — and then some.
Conclusion
While fundraising videos are an investment, they’re also one of the highest ROI tools for nonprofits. With Onwards Collective, you’ll know exactly what you’re paying for — and you’ll see the impact.
