St. Louis Video Production for Non-Profits & Fundraising
Mid-America Emmy®-Winning Storytelling to Drive Your Mission and Donor Action
At Tree9 Films, we believe that a great mission deserves a mighty film. Since 2015, our St. Louis-based team has specialized in cinematic storytelling that drives measurable results. Whether you are preparing for a 2026 gala or launching a multi-year capital campaign, our roots in the Midwest allow us to tell your story with an authenticity that resonates with both local and national donors.
THE POWER OF THE "MISSION MOMENT"
In the competitive landscape of modern fundraising, a standard "explainer" video is no longer enough to move the needle. Donors are looking for credibility, transparency, and emotional resonance. As a WBE-certified company with a history of Mid-America Emmy® Award nominations, we bring a broadcast-level standard to every project. We understand the specific nuances of the St. Louis non-profit community - from the initial creative strategy to the final delivery of social-ready clips that extend the life of your campaign long after the event ends.
Make-A-Wish Missouri & Kansas & The St. Louis Cardinals Family | Gala Storytelling
This film was crafted to capture the powerful bond between two families navigating childhood illness and the hope provided by a life-changing wish. By amplifying the authentic voices of the families and the St. Louis Cardinals, this film served as a centerpiece for their local fundraising efforts.
The Sheldon | Capital Campaign & Historic Expansion
To support a major capital campaign, we highlighted The Sheldon’s role as a cornerstone of St. Louis arts and culture. This cinematic production balances historic preservation with a forward-looking vision, inviting donors to play a role in the venue's next century of impact.
Kids In The Middle | Narrative Storytelling
This Mid-America Emmy®-nominated film uses a scripted narrative to highlight the emotional complexities of divorce on children. By blending cinematic visuals with a deeply human story, we helped this St. Louis institution communicate the vital importance of their counseling services to donors and families alike.
Girls on the Run St. Louis | Non-Profit Mission Film
A vibrant example of non-profit storytelling that blends physical action with personal testimonials.
