Turn an appeal, impact figures or a script into a video
Make a nonprofit explainer video that shows donors exactly what their gift does. Paste your appeal, impact figures or a script, and Atlabs follows one beneficiary story in animated scenes, from the need to the change supporters made happen.
Rough Idea
The need and the gift
Describe the need, the person you help and what a gift makes possible. The AI writes a short nonprofit explainer script around one story, splits it into scenes and builds the video.
A 60-second winter appeal for our food bank, showing how £25 fills a family's cupboard for a week. Warm and hopeful.
Most Popular
Your appeal points or impact figures
Paste the key lines of your appeal or the figures from your impact report. Atlabs keeps your wording and numbers exactly and gives each point a scene with the story.
Last winter: 12,400 parcels. 3 in 10 went to working families. £25 = a week of food. Give today. Thank you, volunteers.
Full Script
A full appeal script
Already written and signed off the appeal? Upload it with scene headings and voiceover lines, and Atlabs turns every scene into an animated shot that follows it closely.
SCENE 1. An almost empty kitchen cupboard. A mum counts coins at the table. VO: "This winter, Sara had a choice."
How It Works
From appeal to a finished nonprofit video in four steps
Paste your idea, outline, or script
Paste your appeal, impact figures or an approved script, and Atlabs turns the need, the gift and the change into scenes.
STEP 1
Choose a visual style & aspect ratio
Choose a warm style, from gentle 2D to paper-cut or watercolour-like 3D, in 16:9 for your website and events or 9:16 for social appeals and stories.
STEP 2
Lock characters, scenes, & props
Lock your beneficiary characters, the places and your logo, so the appeal and every update tell one true story.
STEP 3
Generate, refine, and publish
Generate the video, refine any scene, then share it in appeals, donor emails, events and on social.
STEP 4
50,000+ creators & teams · No credit card required
One story, from ask to thanks
Keep the same beneficiaries, places and details from the appeal to the thank-you
Donors give again when they see their gift land. Atlabs locks your beneficiary characters, the places and the details, so the appeal, the thank-you and the impact update all follow the same story and supporters see what changed because of them.
Character consistency
Create a character once and Atlabs keeps the same face, outfit, colours and style in every scene and every video after it. Donors meet the same person in the appeal and in the update.

Scene consistency
Lock a setting and it keeps the same layout, lighting and mood each time it returns, so the home, the centre or the shelter looks the same before and after the gift.
Object and prop consistency
Food parcels, kits, buildings and your logo look exactly the same in every scene, so supporters can see exactly what their donation provided.

FAQ
Questions charities ask about making a nonprofit explainer video
How do I make a nonprofit explainer video?
Paste your appeal, impact figures or an approved script into Atlabs, choose a warm style and lock your beneficiary characters and places. Atlabs builds every scene with narration and music.
Can I tell real stories without filming people?
Yes. Atlabs animates the people and places in your story, so you can share real experiences with dignity and privacy. You choose every character, every line and how each scene looks.
How long should a charity appeal video be?
Most appeals work best at 30 to 90 seconds, with longer impact videos for your website and events. Atlabs makes every length from one script, with the same beneficiary story throughout.
Can I make the appeal and the thank-you together?
Yes. Lock your characters and places once, then make the appeal, the thank-you and the impact update from the same story, so donors see the same family before and after their gift.
Can I update the video with new impact figures?
Yes. Swap, regenerate, retime or restyle only the scenes with new numbers, and the rest of the video stays as approved. Each update for donors and trustees takes minutes, not a new shoot.
