What Attendees Said about This Nonprofit Webinar for Nonprofit Professionals:

“Danielle showed incredible, real-world examples that were not only practical but inspiring! All of the content was very applicable to the topic of videography but I believe the best piece was the filming kit. This will be extremely helpful in developing videography within my agency and its practices!!”
