📄 SayPro Task Document: Produce One Monthly Donor Education Video or Explainer Animation.

Program: SayPro Monthly Donor Education Initiative – SCMR-2
Managed by: SayPro Fundraising, Sponsorships, Donations, and Crowdfunding Office
Oversight By: SayPro Marketing Royalty (SCMR)
Platform: https://saypro.online
Deadline: Monthly (By the end of each month)
Objective: To create an engaging, informative, and visually appealing video or animated explainer that educates SayPro donors and prospects about planned giving concepts, benefits, and processes, thereby enhancing donor understanding and encouraging sustained engagement.

🔹 Purpose and Strategic Importance

Producing a high-quality educational video or explainer animation each month is a strategic priority for SayPro. Videos are powerful communication tools that:

• Simplify complex topics: Planned giving concepts often involve legal and financial terminology that can be intimidating or confusing. Videos and animations can break down these concepts into easy-to-understand visuals and narratives.
• Enhance engagement: Visual content tends to capture attention better than text-based materials alone, leading to higher viewer retention and deeper understanding.
• Reach diverse audiences: Videos can appeal to different learning styles, including auditory and visual learners, making donor education more inclusive.
• Extend accessibility: Videos can be shared across SayPro’s digital platforms, including the website, social media, and email campaigns, thereby reaching a wider donor base.
• Build SayPro’s brand authority: Professionally produced videos reinforce SayPro’s image as a thought leader in ethical and impactful giving.

🔹 Monthly Video Production Process

1. Topic Selection and Planning

• Collaborate with the SayPro Fundraising Office, donor education specialists, and marketing team to select a monthly theme aligned with current donor education priorities (e.g., “Introduction to Planned Giving,” “Benefits of Charitable Trusts,” “How to Include SayPro in Your Will”).
• Review feedback from prior sessions and donor surveys to identify topics of high interest or areas needing clarification.
• Outline clear learning objectives for the video or animation.

2. Script Development

• Draft a detailed script that presents the topic in a clear, concise, and engaging manner.
• Use plain language and avoid jargon, or provide simple definitions where technical terms are necessary.
• Incorporate storytelling elements, examples, and donor testimonials if available to make content relatable.
• Include a strong call to action (CTA) encouraging viewers to learn more, attend sessions, or contact SayPro for personalized guidance.

3. Storyboard Creation
