### The Storytelling Grant Great nonprofits do transformational work — but too often, that work goes unseen. Our Storytelling Grant is designed to help nonprofits across all three of our charitable programs share the real-world impact they're making in their communities through the power of video. If your organization is creating meaningful change and you have a story worth telling, we want to help you tell it.
