Paradux Media Group Wins 2025 Silver Telly Award for Providence Festival of Trees Fundraiser

Paradux Media Group earned a 2025 Silver Telly Award in the General – Not-for-Profit category for “Providence Festival of the Trees Fundraiser,” a video created to support the Providence Festival of Trees. Presented as part of the 46th Annual Telly Awards, the recognition celebrates excellence in video production and storytelling for nonprofit organizations.

For our Southern Oregon marketing agency, this recognition reflects something we believe deeply: some of the most meaningful marketing happens when a story brings people together around a shared purpose.

Silver Telly Award Recognizes Excellence in Nonprofit Storytelling

Nonprofit organizations face a particular communication challenge. They need to explain what they do, demonstrate why it matters, and inspire people to join their mission. Often, they must accomplish all three with limited resources and an audience that has countless other demands on its attention.

Video offers an opportunity to make those connections more personal. Instead of simply describing a fundraising need, organizations can help audiences understand the people, experiences, and community impact behind their work.

The Telly Awards’ General – Not-for-Profit category recognizes video content created for nonprofit organizations and their initiatives. “Providence Festival of the Trees Fundraiser” received Silver recognition in this category, acknowledging the importance of thoughtful storytelling in nonprofit communications.

Supporting the Providence Festival of Trees

The Providence Festival of Trees brings people together in support of charitable fundraising and community involvement. Events like these depend on more than attendance or donations. They depend on helping people understand why their participation matters.

For the festival’s fundraising video, the opportunity was to communicate that purpose in a way that encouraged viewers to connect with the event and its cause.

At Paradux Media Group, we believe successful nonprofit marketing begins with empathy. Before asking someone to give, volunteer, or participate, an organization needs to help them understand the difference their involvement can make.

That understanding is what turns a fundraising message into a meaningful invitation.

Why Community-Focused Storytelling Matters

We’ve always believed that strong communities are built by people and organizations willing to invest in something larger than themselves. That belief shapes how we approach marketing for nonprofits, community organizations, and local businesses.

Effective storytelling creates a connection between an organization’s mission and the people who can help advance it. It gives audiences a reason to care, an opportunity to understand, and a way to see themselves as part of the story.

Our approach to marketing and creative strategy brings together thoughtful messaging, visual storytelling, and practical execution to help organizations communicate with clarity and purpose.

The Silver Telly Award for “Providence Festival of the Trees Fundraiser” celebrates the role video can play in helping community-centered organizations share their stories.
