Foundations have been experimenting with digital media for a few years now for everything from video-recorded annual reports to messages from the CEO and examples of grantee partnerships. However, this new video from the Ford Foundation defining and describing its endowment might be a first. Perhaps finance and explaining foundation endowments is not the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about content that can be effectively shared using a visual format. But why not? Perhaps short videos are the best way to bring those pie charts and bar graphs to life, and help foundations not only be more transparent, but more engaging.

Oh Ford Foundation - we've got the perfect opportunity to help you reach all your goals (and ours) down here in Wilmington NC. We just need $300m into a community development fund. Seriously, trust me. What if? Why not?
