Earlier this fall, we introduced you to Project Commotion and the Federation of Neighborhood Centers. These two incredible nonprofit organizations, based in San Francisco and Philly respectively, are the winners of our 2021 Animations to Change the World Grant. As the winners of our grant, Project Commotion and FNC each received a two-minute explainer animation. Â
Both organizations center their community deeply at the heart of their missions…and that’s kind of our jam. After spending the last few months diving deeper into their stories, and getting to know the real people behind the work, we can genuinely say how deeply proud we are to have had the opportunity to support the work of these brilliant organizations.

Project Commotion helps families embrace self-expression through joyful movement and sensory stimulation. FNC empowers families impacted by the carceral system to be a part of the systemic change that will ultimately end mass incarceration. In their own ways, the work that these nonprofits do in their communities is tangibly changing lives every day. Â

Because nonprofits rely on human connection to raise money, raise awareness, and make important changes, the human touch of animated video proves to be the perfect medium to compel viewers to not only see – but really feel – the impact that these two groups have.  Â
We’re so excited to share their projects with you.
