At Winstead Photo & Video, we had the privilege of collaborating with the NC Community Foundation, a philanthropic organization dedicated to giving back and making a positive impact across North Carolina. The event we captured was not just an ordinary gathering – it was a celebration of generosity, compassion, and the power of community. Through a series of interviews and photos, we had the opportunity to document the essence of the NC Community Foundation's mission and the individuals who embody it. This was sort of a two for one effort to capture everything needed within a short time frame of everyone being in the same place!

A Commitment to Giving Back

The NC Community Foundation is more than just a philanthropy group – it's a driving force for change and progress in communities throughout North Carolina. From supporting education and healthcare initiatives to fostering economic development and environmental conservation, the foundation's commitment to giving back knows no bounds. The event we captured was a testament to this dedication, bringing together donors, volunteers, and community leaders to celebrate the impact of their collective efforts.

Telling Stories of Impact

Our role at the event was to capture the stories of those whose lives have been touched by the NC Community Foundation's work. Through over 10 interviews conducted by our team, we had the opportunity to hear firsthand accounts of the transformative power of philanthropy. From students who received scholarships to pursue their dreams to nonprofit organizations that received vital funding to support their missions, each interviewee shared a powerful story of how the NC Community Foundation has made a difference in their lives and communities.

Efficient Workflow for Maximum Impact

To ensure that we captured the essence of the event efficiently and effectively, our team employed a strategic workflow. While Beth focused on capturing photos of the event itself – from the lively atmosphere to the heartfelt moments shared between attendees, to the discussion panels and awards being given out – I conducted the interviews in a separate room. This division of labor allowed us to make the most of our time and resources, resulting in a comprehensive documentation of the event from multiple perspectives.

Creating Compelling Content for Social Impact

The interviews we conducted served as the foundation for multiple short videos created for the NC Community Foundation's social media channels and fundraising efforts. By sharing these stories of impact with a wider audience, the foundation aims to inspire others to join in their mission of giving back and creating positive change. Our videos provide a window into the heart of the NC Community Foundation, showcasing the real people and real stories behind their philanthropic work. Here is a sample of one of the videos we created:

Conclusion

Capturing the essence of the NC Community Foundation's event was not just a job for us – it was a privilege. Through interviews, photos, and videos, we were able to shine a spotlight on the incredible work being done by this organization and the individuals who support it. As they continue their mission of empowering communities and making a difference, we're honored to play a part in sharing their stories with the world.
