Media for Nonprofits and NGOs
Nonprofit (NPOs) and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) use video to build trust in their brands, inspire donors and volunteers, and educate their supporters about mission and fundraising needs. Calls to action alongside videos are critical capabilities in fundraising efforts.

Solutions can be as lightweight as a range of purpose-built AWS services or can be provided as turnkey, fully managed partner offerings with integrated fundraising capabilities.
