impact
We’re making creativity and social impact the new industry standard.
We're here to not just produce stories, but build them - from the person who carries them to the person who's on the other side of this mission.
With our launch of The Story Factory, and within the culture of our team, we’ve created a space for city transformation to take place. But our impact reaches from Philadelphia, to the rest of the world.
For every creative project we complete, a portion of our return is given as a response to our creative culture of valuing people over production. This means that, on average, $618 goes towards positive social impact for nonprofits, youth development, and city-wide needs, for each completed project.
In 2021, over $75,000 was given as a result of Helm Creative Studio’s creative projects and, in 2022, nearly $95,000 was given, in addition to nearly $29,000 towards in-kind services, for a total amount of over $123,000 to 8 organizations.
And, in 2023, Helm exponentially increased the previous year’s impact by giving over $203,000 in in-kind and monetary donations. These funds were distributed towards positive social impact for nonprofits, youth development, and city-wide needs within Philadelphia, which ultimately led to national and global impact.
Imagine what’s possible as we continue to partner together, or work together for the first time.
When you work with Helm, you’ll be leading your story, fueling your creative capabilities, and investing in the future and the world we want to live in.
Also in 2023, Helm launched leading photography classes for students at St. Laurentius Elementary School, supported KCAPA in their art programs and holiday events in partnership with the 26th Police District, and donated to fund and name the videography and digital arts studio at St. Laurentius. And this doesn’t even count the hours Helm has given towards outreach and service days, simply because we know that valuing people over production will always be our anchor.
