Message
A script for a dialogue about the value of nonprofit programs in seeking funding.
Panel | Visual | Text / Dialogue | Narrative Beat |
1 | Alex on a Zoom / phone call with a funder. Neutral, attentive. | Funder: “What’s special about your program that makes it worth funding?” | Reasonable question, external judgment begins. |
2 | Alex muted. Small pause icon. Thoughtful expression. | “I didn’t know this was a competition.” | Internal discomfort, not defensive. |
3 | Checklist floating on screen: Scalable, Innovative, Proven, Unique. | “I guess it’s fair to fund only the ‘serious’ work.” | Names the system’s logic. |
4 | Cut to youth sitting in the program space. Calm, ordinary. | “We don’t ask young people to be special.” | Perspective shift. |
5 | Youth interacting quietly: sitting together, relaxed. | “We ask if they feel safe.” \n*“We ask if they’re growing.”* \n*“We build trust.”* | Values made visible. |
6 | Alex back at the desk, same calm energy as the youth scene. | “That’s what we’re building too.” | Youth ↔ nonprofit parallel. |
7 | Alex still on mute. Thought bubble. | “Should we be judged…” \n**“…for learning as we go?”** \n**“…the same way young people are?”** | Heart of the arc. Reflective question. |
8 | Door open / online room open. Alex smiling, steady. | We are building safe, consistent spaces first, impact grows from there.”“We’re here seeking support, trust, and a chance to grow. \nWill you be the one?” \nIf not, we understand. | Dignified invitation, clear ask. |
