Conservation Florida's Important Mission to be Featured by GiveVisuals
Conservation Florida selected for Video Storytelling Opportunity
ORLANDO, Florida (April 23, 2021)—We’re excited to share the news that Conservation Florida was selected by GiveVisuals because of its success in protecting natural and agricultural landscapes throughout Florida. Thanks to this generous opportunity, the organization will receive creative tools and assistance creating a video that shows the significance of protecting land for future generations.
The video will be created by volunteers from around the world who work with GiveVisuals to create impactful visual stories. The purpose of Conservation Florida’s video is to help raise awareness, advocates, and resources for the organization’s land conservation programs.
GiveVisuals is a nonprofit organization that provides emerging charities with the free opportunity to expand the impact of their good works in service to others by fostering a network of creative people who want to share their visual storytelling talents.
“This is exactly what we need, said Cyndi Fernandez, Conservation Florida’s associate director. “With more people than ever moving to Florida, we need to show the benefits of conservation and what’s at stake if we don’t protect our ecosystems.”
Florida couple, Andy and Ashley McEntire, founded GiveVisuals in 2018 to bring accessibility to professional filmmaking to more nonprofits. The video is expected to be completed in the fall and will allow Conservation Florida to reach new audiences and communicate the urgent need to work together to conserve Florida.
“We love being able to give back in such a meaningful way. Stories have so much power, and we are honored to be able to help tell the story of Conservation Florida,” said Shannon Abitbol, Executive Director of GiveVisuals.
