Description
The Community Foundation of Greater Huntsville’s annual Share Your Story video challenge mobilizes generosity for local nonprofits in the Greater Huntsville area. Organizations create videos of 60 seconds or less to share their stories and demonstrate their impact. Approved videos appear in a donor catalog, where donors are invited to watch and co-invest in the featured organizations. Grants are distributed after the catalog closes.
The program uses a new theme each year. The 2026 theme, “Small Nonprofits Making an Outsized Impact,” highlights the work of small organizations. In 2025, the challenge focused on engaging families in strategic generosity through the Foundation’s Family Philanthropy Initiative, pairing nonprofit videos with a toolkit for family conversations and decisions about which organizations to support.
