Isles

Telling the story of Isles Inc. and its good works carried a challenge: The group's aim was to ask for money without asking.

A nationally recognized community development organization, Isles sponsors, funds, and administers a wide range of community self-help programs. Islands of Development is told by the people of Isles, as well as by the people it helps. Like much of our work, Islands of Development contains not a single scripted line. The same interviewing techniques we use to put our famous respondents at ease works just as well with ordinary people. The result: a program that feels honest and real to the viewer.

Islands of Development was used in a campaign that raised several million dollars. "I showed the video to potential donors who were so moved by Isles' story that they made a huge contribution on the spot." - Barbara Coe, Co-Chair, Capitol Campaign. Today, Isles continues to use the program as a general informational piece.
