Video storytelling plays a powerful role in helping nonprofits amplify their missions, reach new audiences, and inspire action. But storytelling is not just something the Brownieland Team does behind the camera. In honor of National Parks and Recreation Month, we are highlighting the nonprofits we have had the pleasure of volunteering with. These organizations are committed to preserving parks, protecting green spaces, and expanding community access to the outdoors. Working alongside them has deepened our connection to the causes we care about and reminded us how essential our shared public spaces are to community well-being.

Telling Stories for the Greater Good
Whether we’re filming a fundraising video, capturing the spirit of a volunteer day, or lending a hand in person, our goal is the same: to elevate the missions of organizations making a difference in our environment and communities. We believe that compelling video storytelling not only broadens awareness but also builds deeper support drawing in new volunteers, funders, and advocates. As we celebrate the great outdoors this month, we encourage nonprofits working in parks, recreation, and environmental stewardship to consider how storytelling can amplify your mission.
If you’re looking to bring your impact to life, we’d love to help tell your story!
