New program builds on NCM’s existing Nonprofit Supporter Package while creating hands-on opportunities for local media professionals.
GRASS VALLEY, CA — November 10, 2026 — Nevada County Media (NCM) is expanding its commitment to supporting local nonprofit organizations with the introduction of Mission in Motion, a new program designed to help nonprofits share their stories, promote their programs, and connect with the community through affordable, professionally supported media production.
The new initiative builds upon NCM's existing Nonprofit Supporter Package, which provides participating organizations with access to a variety of media services and promotional opportunities designed to increase community awareness and engagement.
Supporting the Organizations That Support Our Community
Nevada County is home to numerous nonprofit organizations doing important work in education, the arts, health, human services, environmental protection, and community development. Yet many of these organizations lack the resources, equipment, or expertise to effectively communicate their impact through video and digital media.
Nevada County Media's Nonprofit Supporter Package helps bridge that gap by providing organizations with access to media resources and opportunities to promote their missions, programs, services, and events.
Through this established program, NCM helps nonprofits expand their visibility, share information with the public, and connect with potential volunteers, supporters, and community members.
Introducing Mission in Motion: Taking Nonprofit Storytelling Further
While the Nonprofit Supporter Package provides valuable foundational services, Mission in Motion takes that support a step further by connecting nonprofits with individuals who have completed Nevada County Media's Vocational Training Program.
These emerging media professionals will work alongside participating nonprofit organizations to develop content tailored to their specific needs.
Projects may include:
Special Event Videos — Capturing fundraisers, celebrations, performances, and community activities.
Social Media Content — Creating engaging short-form videos to increase awareness and reach new audiences.
Website Videos — Producing content that introduces an organization's mission, programs, and impact.
Promotional Stories — Highlighting the people, projects, and accomplishments that make each organization unique.
Additional Media Projects — Developing creative content beyond the services included in the standard Nonprofit Supporter Package.
The program is designed to provide these additional services at a low cost while also creating meaningful paid work opportunities for individuals entering the media production field.
A Program That Benefits the Entire Community
Mission in Motion has a dual purpose: strengthening local nonprofits while creating employment opportunities for local media talent.
Graduates of NCM's Vocational Training Program will have the opportunity to apply their skills to real-world projects, gain professional experience, and earn income while helping organizations that make a difference in Nevada County.
An additional benefit is available to nonprofits that sponsor an individual through NCM's Vocational Training Program. Organizations that sponsor a trainee will be eligible to receive Mission in Motion services at no additional cost.
"This program is about creating opportunities on multiple levels," said Ramona Howard, Executive Director of Nevada County Media. "We want to help nonprofits tell the stories of the incredible work they do, while also giving individuals in our community an opportunity to develop their skills, gain experience, and earn income. It's a way to invest in both our nonprofit community and our local workforce."
Two Programs, One Shared Mission
Together, Nevada County Media's Nonprofit Supporter Package and Mission in Motion offer organizations a more comprehensive approach to community outreach and storytelling.
The Nonprofit Supporter Package provides ongoing foundational support and promotional opportunities, while Mission in Motion offers additional customized media production services through NCM's growing network of trained local talent.
Both programs reflect Nevada County Media's mission to empower creativity, storytelling, and community engagement by providing education, resources, and opportunities through digital media.
