There are three ways to work with Mila.
We can set up your follow-up, keep it running every month, or make one film for one moment.
The people who would give, volunteer or come to you for help often never see the work you do.
And the people who already know you often don't know what you're doing now or how to help.
Both of these can be fixed.
The Storytelling System
We set up your follow-up in your own system in 30 days, so every person who gives, volunteers or asks for help hears back.

We keep the follow-up running every month and bring in real stories, some of them on film.

We make one film for one moment, like a camp recap, a year-end appeal, a banquet film or a testimony.

The Storytelling System
We set up your follow-up, so every person who gives, volunteers or asks for help hears back.
We set it up in your own system and your own voice, and it's done in 30 days. It starts with a free scorecard and a 20-minute review call.
Reading your donor records and writing the plan to fix what's broken is the inside audit. Setting up the follow-up is the install, and the audit ends with one install quote for your organization.
The Content Retainer
Every month, we keep your follow-up running and bring in real stories.
The retainer comes in four sizes. Each one sends you one page a month that tells you what to do next.
- Words and photos
We write all twelve stories a year, in words and photos.
It usually fits an organization with a budget of one to three million dollars a year.
- Four films
Four of the twelve stories also become story films.
It usually fits an organization with a budget over three million dollars a year.
- Flagship
You also get two flagship films a year. A flagship is the longer film you show at your banquet.
It usually fits an organization with a budget over ten million dollars a year.
- Full rhythm
You get four flagship films a year instead of two.
It usually fits an organization with a budget over ten million dollars a year.
The founding offer for the first five organizations covers the audit and the install. The retainer is always full price.
Video projects
Any organization can hire us to make one film for one moment.
It could be a camp recap, a year-end appeal, a banquet film or a testimony. You don't need a retainer or the system.
We have one conversation to find the story. Then we film it once and edit it into one film.
Every film gets made in three steps.
First, we find the story.
You bring the work, I ask the questions, and we find the story in one conversation.
Then we shape it.
We shape it into a story your donors can follow from start to finish.
Then I film it and edit it.
I film it and edit it, with as little work from your team as I can manage.
You can watch the films we've made for other nonprofits.
“We hired Mila Studios for a large fundraising event to do a highlight video and interview key people involved. They did an amazing job.”
If you're not sure where to start, here's how to choose.
Start with the scorecard if people don't hear back.
If a first-time donor hears nothing personal from you for 48 hours, the free scorecard shows you where to start. It takes about three minutes.
Schedule a call if you need one film.
If you have one moment this year that needs a film, like a camp, a banquet or a year-end appeal, let's talk about it.

You do not have to struggle alone.
Fundraising can feel overwhelming, especially when your message is not reaching the people who would give. We make video that connects with your donors and supports the mission, so you can tell your story clearly and consistently across Baltimore and D.C.
