Your Nonprofit Speaks One Language. Donors Don't

A group of people in genuine conversation

Your organisation films one video about the work. A good one — real footage, real numbers, the face of someone you actually helped. Then you publish it in exactly one language.

Money is international. Your video isn't

Grant bodies, corporate CSR teams and individual donors look across borders. If your annual video only exists in English, the Berlin foundation scrolls past it; if it only exists in Czech, so does everyone else. Subtitles get you halfway — but in a story built on emotion, the viewer ends up reading text instead of looking someone in the eye.

Dub these three first

Don't start with the archive. Take a 60–90 second "who we are", one concrete beneficiary story, and the annual report summary. Those three cover most moments when an outsider needs to understand you fast. Pick languages by where the money actually comes from, not by population size.

A budget that survives the board

Studio dubbing runs into the thousands per video, which is why nonprofits skip it entirely. AI dubbing brings the same job down to a few euros a minute and keeps the original speaker's voice — so your director still sounds like your director, just in German.

Upload a video you already have to TubeVoice and pick two languages. When it's time to bundle the attachments into one grant PDF, FileTools handles that side.
