NONPROFIT VIDEO

Nonprofit Video Production for Mission-Driven Organizations

We are a small business. On the one hand it means we can't always show off and be flashy, but on the other hand we don't have to bow down to any corporate overlords when deciding what work we choose to do. This makes us an ideal nonprofit video production partner, and from the get-go we have always made it a priority to do work we think is important, impactful and meaningful to our community or the world at large. 


Big Teeth is a Chicago-based video production studio and we have spent two decades using our storytelling and production skills to work with nonprofits and mission-driven organizations putting good into the world. Whether it's feeding the hungry, connecting the dots of arts education to the whole human, or anything that uplifts, we want to do what we can. The nonprofit and social impact projects below range from documentary storytelling that shows the real people behind the causes to animated explainers that help bring the stats and stories to light to fundraising videos that allow organizations to keep doing the work that needs doing.


We're small enough that we can actually mean it when we say this work matters to us - this isn't about tax write-offs or checking boxes. We have a chance to affect change in some small way and we believe it's our duty and our privilege to do so when we can. We put as much of ourselves into work with nonprofits as we do for any Fortune 500 client because we want to be proud of what we do and know that we're making a difference, even if it's a small one.

How we help your mission grow:

  • Fundraising & Gala Films: Because "depressing" doesn't inspire donors, but dignity does.

  • Nonprofit Storytelling: Turning your data and "droning stats" into human stories that move people to act.

  • Social Impact Campaigns: Helping mission-driven organizations cut through the noise without the insider jargon.
