The Trust for Public Land – The Equitable Communities Fund

In 2020, The Trust for Public Land created The Equitable Communities Fund with the goal to raise $50 million in philanthropic support to close the equity gap in disadvantaged and historically marginalized communities across the U.S. The funds raised will go towards resourcing and financing the acceleration of creating new parks and open spaces in these communities.

My task as The Trust for Public Land’s senior graphic and digital designer was to take an existing static presentation and bring it to life as an informative, impactful, and high energy motion video. The completed video asset shown here was used to launch the fund both on our website and during a live streamed event held for donors in late 2020.
