This past weekend was Canada’s Thanksgiving Day, and we’re so thankful for all the customers, partners, and team members who supported our growth throughout the years.
The non-profit sector has always faced challenges to overcome when it comes to marketing and promoting its efforts with fundraising and donations.
According to a report ran in 2019 by Salesforce.org surveying 404 nonprofit marketing professionals, one of the biggest constraints that non-profits face is budget constraints when it comes to marketing. This is consistent across most organizations, regardless of size and profile.
As a Canadian-founded company, we wanted to give back to the community by using Lumen5 to help create short, snappy videos that help tell their stories.
Led by our Revenue Operations Manager, Kevin Jiang, our team had the opportunity to pick a local charity of their choice to create a marketing video for their respective organization.
“We wanted to host our own internal film festival to highlight the important work being done by non-profit organizations close to the heart of the Lumen5 staff. It was an amazing experience to learn more about these charities while showcasing the talents of our team, while also giving back to the community.”

VOKRA covers all of the costs and provides ongoing support to foster families.
International China Concern (ICC)
International China Concern (ICC) was founded in 1993 by David Gotts after seeing firsthand the suffering of children with disabilities who had experienced abandonment and left without hope in desperate conditions in China.
In the beginning, ICC sent short-term teams into China to provide care in government welfare centres. Later, we established permanent locations which provide full-time family-style care for children in Changsha and Hengyang in Hunan Province.
GiveDirectly
GiveDirectly is a nonprofit that lets donors like you send money directly to the world’s poorest households. We believe people living in poverty deserve the dignity to choose for themselves how best to improve their lives — cash enables that choice.
