A session as part of the 25th SwissFoundations Symposium:

What happens when philanthropy backs an impact campaign?

With Ben Kempas (Film & Campaign Ltd,), Patrizia Rezzoli (Seedling Foundation), Emilien Schenker (The StoryBoard Collective)

Facts inform and stories move. Research shows that compelling narratives trigger the same neurochemical responses as human connection, making documentaries one of the most effective yet underused tools in philanthropy. This session highlights an unexpected collaboration between two Swiss foundations and what it produced. From that experience, participants will be invited to explore the concept of ‘impact storytelling’ as a complementary tool to support their philanthropic strategies.
