Video Fundraising: Combining Stories to Educate & Elevate
79 of Kentucky’s 120 counties are a child care desert. This lack of accessibility, compounded with the rising costs of child care, means the 4 out of 5 children of Kentucky do not receive the safe, supervised care they need when school is not in session. I Would Rather Be Reading (IWRBR) is a nonprofit facing this issue head-on by providing equitable access to high quality literacy and social emotional learning across eight locations in Louisville, Kentucky.
Through their Educate & Elevate Program, IWRBR witnesses the enormous strides the children make every single day, and they look forward to broadening their impact by expanding to new locations. To do so, they needed a way to bring the children’s infectious spirit directly to potential donors at fundraising events. With the Hearts for Hope Impact Breakfast forthcoming, they made plans to craft a magnificent impact video. That’s where MemoryFox came in.

"We’ve never done this before, and I don’t think we would have thought to do this before MemoryFox. It just makes it easy to capture what we need to capture in a time-conservative way. And we actually get to show event attendees the kids we work with. It’s so important for people to actually meet our kids."
