In the Foundation sector, professional video content has become essential for standing out in a competitive market. Whether you need promotional material, training content, or brand storytelling, 2D Animation delivers measurable results that transform how foundation professionals communicate with their audience.
Foundations operate at the intersection of philanthropy and institutional credibility, requiring video content that communicates both heart and rigor. Annual gala coverage, grant recipient profiles, and founding family narratives form the core content library. Unlike NGOs working in the field, foundations often focus on systemic change — funding research, building institutions, shaping policy — making their impact harder to visualize. Animated explainers that map how grant funding flows from foundation to outcome help donors and the public understand the theory of change. Board meeting summaries, fellowship program highlights, and partnership announcement videos maintain transparency and stakeholder engagement throughout the year.
NGOs and associations must make every production euro count. Emotional storytelling drives donations — video fundraising campaigns raise 150% more than text-based campaigns. Yet the challenge is balancing urgency with dignity, showing need without exploiting beneficiaries.
Nonprofits compete for attention in an oversaturated media landscape. Donor fatigue is real, and only the most authentic, compelling video content breaks through. Impact reporting through video has become essential for major donors and institutional funders.
A humanitarian NGO produced a 3-minute field documentary during a crisis response. The video raised €2.4M in emergency donations within 72 hours — 5x their previous text-based campaigns.
An environmental association used drone footage to document deforestation. The video reached 12M views, generated 500K petition signatures, and directly influenced policy legislation.
Nonprofit video amplifies impact exponentially: fundraising videos increase donations by 150%, impact report videos boost donor retention by 67%, and volunteer recruitment videos reduce onboarding costs by 40%. Organizations with consistent video storytelling see 3x more recurring donors and 55% higher average gift amounts.
1. Script & Storyboard: We translate your message into a visual script with detailed storyboard frames showing keyframes, transitions, and timing.
2. Asset Design: Custom illustrations, icons, typography, and graphic elements are created in your brand style guide. Character design and rigging if needed.

4. Sound & Final: Custom sound design, music selection/licensing, voiceover integration, and final render in all required formats.
2D animation brings illustrated characters, environments, and scenarios to life frame by frame. Unlike motion design which moves graphic elements, 2D animation creates the illusion of life through hand-drawn or digitally drawn sequences with squash, stretch, and follow-through. We work in Toon Boom Harmony and Adobe Animate at 24fps for cinematic quality or 12fps for a stylized look. Projects range from 15-second social loops to 5-minute narrative shorts. Expect a 3-6 week timeline depending on character complexity and scene count, with animatics delivered at the halfway mark for your approval.
You receive: animated video in all formats, source project files (After Effects/C4D), individual asset library (AI/SVG), Lottie files for web integration, GIF versions for social, and style guide documentation for future animations.
Software: After Effects, Cinema 4D, Blender, Illustrator | Animation: 24/30/60 fps, Lottie/JSON export | 3D: Octane/Redshift rendering | Output: ProRes 4444 (alpha), H.265, WebM, GIF, Lottie
