Positive Change Media CIC, is a not for profit media creation company, primarily working with other not for profits, charities and foundations. As a CIC (community interest company) we are Government regulated and specifically work with those, often tireless people, who support positive change and education in the natural environment.
It was a conscious decision to become a not for profit CIC (community interest company) ourselves, to guarantee all of a clients budget goes into production.
No shareholders, no dividends, no margins. But still, the two remaining costs for filming anything are crew and kit hire and we want to reduce both.
A number of brilliant professional freelance crew already reduce rates, intermittently, to help on specific projects for us. We could not do this work without them. However, we desperately need to either fund or find the film making equipment to save those hire costs and carry on helping those who need it most.
Any savings on crew costs and kit hire we pass directly on to our not for profit clients giving many of them access to higher media creation, that might not have been available to them, raising production values and channeling as much of their limited budget into getting their content professionally made, and importantly, driving their message, informing us all.
We're initially raising £4000 to purchase filming equipment to support not for profits who're working towards positive change and education in the natural environment. This is a camera and lens.
Nikon UK, incredibly, have offered us 20% off of their range of cameras and lenses so we aim to raise the remaining 80% while the offer lasts.
Could you help us?
