The Owen Sound Community Fund wants to share its good news, and if a picture is worth a thousand words, a video is worth a million. Below is a request for proposals from Owen Sound videographers to create just such a video for us.

Project Overview: The Owen Sound Community Fund Management Committee is looking for a promotional video of 3 to 5 minutes that highlights its purpose, mission and the work it supports in the community of Owen Sound.

Background: Created in 2009 from proceeds from Owen Sound's 150th Anniversary Homecoming, the Owen Sound Community Fund exists to enrich the quality of life for the people of the City of Owen Sound by supporting projects of not-for-profit charitable organizations within the City. The Owen Sound Community Fund is held within the Community Foundation Grey Bruce and managed by a Fund Management Committee made up of volunteers from within the Municipality.

Project Goals: The promotional video is to be launched at a large public event, and is to be used on our website, social media, and at meetings large and small. The Owen Sound Community Fund is to be presented in its relationship to the Community Foundation Grey Bruce, and most importantly in the context of contributing to a vibrant and healthy Owen Sound community.
We will supply the videographer with any existing images and video about the Fund and Foundation, and contact information for those projects we have funded in the past.

Timeline: The finished, approved video must be available for release at a public event on Wednesday, April 19, 2017.

Proposal requirements:
2 or 3 Examples of past projects, preferably of similar size and scope
2 or 3 Client references (and whether email or phone is better)
Description of your concept for the video
Identify any possible sub-contractors
Project timeline with major tasks and milestones
