Fundraising Videos:
Connecting with your Potential Donors
A fundraising video is an excellent way to present specific and important information to your prospective donors in a non-threatening environment. A video program works well as a companion tool in part of a capital campaign, and opens the doors and hearts to many potential donors. Video can be a very emotional medium ... very effective for tugging on the heartstrings of your audience.
Fundraising videos can be presented to groups of any size at live fundraising events, can be emailed to individual potential donors, and can be showcased on a website or social media for visitors anywhere in the world. Programs can highlight major points of a campaign, provide an emotional connection, and lay the groundwork for a donation invitation.
De La Salle North Catholic High School opened in 2001 to provide a faith-based, college preparatory high school education to underserved students from the Portland area.
Students at De La Salle North Catholic High School attend class four days per week and work for a local company one day each week as part of the Corporate Work Study Program (CWSP). The CWSP provides work experience, business contacts, and helps offset the cost to educate them. This school exists to provide this unique educational opportunity to families who would not be able to afford a private, Catholic education.
This video was produced for a fundraising event on campus focused on the Corporate Work Study Program, as well as ongoing outreach for new corporate partners and private support.
“ David Decker is such a pleasure to work with. Proactive, communicative, easy-going, timely—I could go on and on with adjectives. It was a real collaboration, and I felt like he was a real thought partner for our project. He gets our organization’s mission, and the final video product is stronger because of the depth of his understanding and intuition.”
Jesuit High School, located in Portland, Oregon, was founded in 1956 by the Society of Jesus and continues the 465-year tradition of Jesuit education. Jesuit High School, honoring the spirit of St. Ignatius, charges less tuition than the actual cost of education, as well as providing financial aid to those in need. The "gap" or deficit in the budget is met by the generosity of many donors.
One of the events which specifically targets financial aid for students in need, currently one in four students, is the annual financial aid luncheon. This video was part of the luncheon presentation at Jesuit, along with presentations by students, the principal, and a moving story of faith and support by local celebrity.
“Thank you, Dave! As we have said MANY times, you saved the night. Without your willingness to help and your expertise, the videos would not have resonated with our audience. Words cannot fully express our appreciation.”
This video was developed for Lewis & Clark College to be shown at a Philanthropy Leadership Dinner Event. The video was choreographed with other personal presentations that evening to show deep appreciation for a successful campaign.
“David Decker was a delight to work with on a recent film-editing project: Highly skilled, responsive to input, reliable and trust-worthy, and friendly and gracious all the way.”

My work for Burgerville, Hewlett Packard, Georgia Pacific and The Taylor Group is all proprietary in nature.
“Because Dave does an amazing job for us!! He’s always committed to our needs and we LOVE working with him and would recommend him to anyone!”
“I worked with Dave to produce educational products for Hewlett Packard. Dave brought in state of the art technology and work methods that enabled us to produce higher quality material. Dave and his staff have a way about them that quite simply...produces great results with no fuss. Well worth the money, very creative, and cutting edge. If you are considering working with Dave, I would recommend telling him what your problem is rather than what you want as an end product. My experience has shown me that Dave will come up with solutions that are more effective than what I would have initially specified to him. He solves problems.”
“We asked Dave to help us to create training tapes for our course leaders. He worked with us over a period of 8 years taping raw footage of our courses with various course leaders. He had an invisible but competent presence in the course room with our participants that did not detract from the processes, and people’s experiences. He is a delight to work with. My course leaders have been able to use the raw footage to assist in their mastery of the material and in their own learning. We are now in the creative process of putting the raw footage into some edited formats to further leverage our library. I would highly recommend Dave for any project you have in mind. He is all about service, clarity and impeccability.”
“Dave Decker has consistently provided outstanding results for my employee communication projects at HP. I have used his services multiple times to create high impact video programs to promote the adoption of new tools and processes. His work and creativity have consistently exceeded my expectations. His work educates, entertains, and engages my audiences. Over the years, I found him to be one of the easiest video producers to work with and I highly recommend him.”
Lead Paint safety program series for the Portland Water Bureau.
Purdy - a high-end paint brush and paint roller manufacturer - brought Mercury Productions in to consult with and film a series of product training events and manufacturing plant tours. These were all filmed in HD and 4K, and sent off to an edit facility the client had worked with in the past for editing. We provided the raw footage on a hard drive, as well as timecode window overlay of the footage for our client to review and make edit decisions with prior to editing.
