# Giving Tuesday Video Maker

The short videos a nonprofit’s Giving Tuesday campaign runs on — the save-the-date, the match, the day itself and the thank-you — narrated and captioned from your own goal and dates.

Canonical page: https://www.veedio.co/tools/giving-tuesday-video-maker
Search intent: A US nonprofit, school foundation, church or animal rescue planning its Giving Tuesday campaign in November, who needs a sequence of short videos tied to the day — before, on and after it — with a small team and no video budget.

## What it produces

- 5 to 8 scenes, each with one spoken line and one generated frame
- A minute by default; 30, 60, 90 or 180 seconds are selectable in the composer (paid plans to 180s). Scene length comes from the narration's true duration
- ElevenLabs voiceover: 5 voices, narrating in any of 29 languages
- Word-timed captions burned in from the voice model's own character alignment
- A licensed music bed, ducked under the narration, loudness-normalised master
- 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9, 1080-class, no watermark on any plan

## Preset applied on this page

- Source type: prompt
- Voice: elli
- Captions: bold-center
- Music: uplifting
- Visual style: documentary
- Aspect ratio: 9:16

## The brief this page adds, verbatim

This string is prepended to whatever the visitor types before the scriptwriter
sees it — in the script preview on this page, in the video you generate after
clicking through to the composer, and in the API when you send
`preset: "giving-tuesday-video-maker"`. It is the only difference between this page and
the others.

> Write a short video for a nonprofit's Giving Tuesday campaign. Work out from the user's words which video in the campaign this is — a save-the-date before the day, a matching-gift announcement, the appeal on the day itself, a last-hours reminder, or a thank-you to donors afterwards — and write only that one. Open on the need or the moment in concrete, human terms without exploiting anyone's suffering, give one clear ask or one clear thank-you, and close with exactly how to give or what happens next. Use only the goal, amounts, impact figures, deadlines, times and matching gifts the user typed, exactly as typed; never invent a match, a matching donor, a goal, progress toward a goal, a total raised, a donor count, a deadline, a beneficiary, a story, a statistic or a tax-deduction claim. Refer to the day as Giving Tuesday; never describe the organisation as partnered with or endorsed by the GivingTuesday organisation. Each scene describes one documentary-style frame of the work the gift pays for — shelves being stocked, a dog in a foster home, a volunteer table — with no identifiable real person, no logo or emblem, Giving Tuesday's included, no text in the frame, and nobody speaking to camera. End with the call to action the user gave, or 'Give today at the link in our bio' if they gave none, or 'Thank you' for a thank-you video.

## Example inputs from the page

- Our $5,000 goal to stock the food pantry
- Animal rescue matching-gift appeal for Giving Tuesday
- Thank-you video for our Giving Tuesday donors

## Getting started

Pick a plan at /pricing and start creating today. The widget on the page runs the
real scriptwriter with this preset and returns the script, the per-scene image
prompts and the estimated runtime. Rendering the visuals, voiceover and final
file spends credits.

## How it works

1. **Type the goal and the video you need** — The goal, what a gift does, and whether it is the save-the-date, the match, the day or the thank-you.
2. **Check every figure before it renders** — The script uses only your goal, match and deadline, and invents no donor, total or statistic.
3. **Make the run in November, post each on its day** — Download or publish each video when its moment comes, before, on and after Giving Tuesday.

## A campaign run, tied to one Tuesday

Giving Tuesday falls on the Tuesday after US Thanksgiving, which is December 1 in 2026. Unlike a year-round appeal, a Giving Tuesday campaign has a calendar: a save-the-date in November, the matching-gift announcement in the days before, the appeal on the morning itself, a last-hours reminder that evening, and a thank-you once it is over. Each moment wants its own short video, and they all want to be ready before Thanksgiving week.

Type the goal and which video you need, and the script is written for that moment only: “Our $5,000 goal to stock the food pantry” becomes the day-of appeal, a match you name becomes the match announcement, and “Thank-you video for our Giving Tuesday donors” becomes the thank-you. For appeals the rest of the year — a coat drive, a volunteer call, a halfway update — the nonprofit fundraising video maker is the page to use.

## Matching gifts and goals, only as you type them

A match is the strongest line in a Giving Tuesday appeal and the easiest to get wrong. The brief never invents a match, a matching donor, a goal, a running total or a donor count; type the match with its amount, who is giving it and when it ends, and that is exactly what it says; type no match, and the video mentions none. No tax-deduction claim is added either — that is yours to state, in your words.

It does not film your programmes or the people you serve. Every scene is a generated, documentary-style frame of the work a gift pays for — shelves being stocked, a dog in a foster home, a volunteer table — with no identifiable person, so nothing needs a release. One photo from your own organisation can open the video, added in the composer.

## Getting the videos out on the day

Make the whole run in November and keep the files ready. Connect TikTok, Instagram and YouTube once and publish to TikTok, Reels and Shorts from the app, on every plan. Mini connects 1 account, Starter 3, Pro 6 and Studio 25. Publishing from the app happens when you press it rather than at a set time, so each video goes out on its day when you post it; Facebook, email and your website take the downloaded MP4.

No GivingTuesday logo or emblem appears in any video — the scenes carry no lettering at all — and the script calls the day Giving Tuesday without suggesting your campaign is run with the organisation behind it. Mini ($7 a month, 200 credits) covers about 15 five-scene shorts in pictures, or about 2 with AI motion in every scene.

## Who it is for

- **Food banks and community nonprofits** — A goal, a match and a thank-you for the pantry, the shelter or the after-school programme.
- **Animal rescues** — Matching-gift appeals and foster updates for the day, one clear ask each.
- **School foundations and PTAs** — A Giving Tuesday push for the classroom fund, made by a volunteer in an evening.
- **Churches and faith-based charities** — A save-the-date for the congregation and a thank-you the Sunday after.

## Compared with making it the usual way

| | The usual way | With Veedio |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Input | A volunteer filming programmes in November, with release forms for everyone on camera. | The goal, the match and the date, typed once per video. |
| Visuals | Footage of the people you serve, gathered with their consent. | Generated documentary-style scenes of the work; no one’s image is used. |
| Voiceover | Book a VO artist, or record yourself and cut the breaths out. | Five ElevenLabs voices, re-recorded free whenever the line changes. |
| Captions | Auto-captions that drift, then an hour nudging keyframes. | Burned in from the voice model’s own word alignment, so they land on the syllable. |
| Turnaround | One campaign video, often finished after the day has passed. | A save-the-date, a match, the day and a thank-you, each in minutes. |
| Changing it | Re-record the line, re-cut the timeline, re-export, re-upload. | Edit the line and only its voice is re-recorded, free. A new still is free too; a new motion clip is free once per video. |

## FAQ

### When is Giving Tuesday this year?

Giving Tuesday falls on the Tuesday after US Thanksgiving, which is December 1 in 2026. Campaigns are usually built in November, so the save-the-date and the match announcement are ready before Thanksgiving week.

### How is this different from the nonprofit fundraising video maker?

This page is for one dated campaign — the videos before, on and after Giving Tuesday. The nonprofit fundraising video maker is for appeals, updates and volunteer calls the rest of the year.

### Will it make up a matching gift or a total raised?

No. It uses only the goal, amounts, deadlines and matches you type, exactly as typed, and is told never to invent a match, a matching donor, progress toward a goal, a total raised, a donor count or a tax-deduction claim. You read the script before anything renders.

### Will the videos show the people we serve?

No. Every scene is a generated, documentary-style frame of the work a gift pays for, with no identifiable person, so nothing needs a release. One photo from your own organisation can open the video, added in the composer.

### Is Veedio part of GivingTuesday?

No. Veedio is an independent video tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by GivingTuesday or the organisation behind it, and the videos use none of its logos. GivingTuesday is a trademark of its owner.

### Can I schedule the videos to post on the day?

Not at a set time: publishing from the app happens when you press it, to TikTok, Reels and Shorts. Make the videos in November and post each on its day; Facebook, email and your website take the downloaded file.

### What does a campaign cost?

Plans are monthly: Mini $7 (200 credits), Starter $19 (600 credits), Pro $49 (2,000 credits), Studio $149 (7,500 credits). A five-scene short in pictures costs 13 credits; with AI motion in every scene it costs 68. You see the price before you generate, and the first payment on any plan has a 7-day money-back guarantee. Mini ($7 a month, 200 credits) covers about 15 five-scene shorts in pictures, or about 2 with AI motion in every scene.

### Do I have to sign up to try this?

Yes, and pick a plan: Mini is $7 a month, and the first payment has a 7-day money-back guarantee. On a plan, the box at the top writes the script and the shot list for no credits — that is the part that decides whether the video is worth making.

### Do I own the videos, and is there a watermark?

You own them, on every plan, and there is no watermark on any plan, no resolution cap and no platform withheld. Four things do follow the plan, because they are what a video costs to make: AI motion and sound effects need Starter, and a presenter avatar and the choice of video model need Pro. Everything else — every voice, every language, every caption style, every aspect ratio — is the same on all of them.
