PHL17 Challenge

We are proud to partner with PHL17 for a thirty-second (:30) PSA Video Challenge! All participating nonprofit organizations in Delco Gives are invited to create their own :30 PSA to promote their mission.

Video Instructions

  • The PSA should promote your nonprofit organization and should not include a mention of Delco Gives, so we can continue to air the PSA throughout 2026.
  • Preferred video formats: 1080p (1920 x 1080) and 720p (1280 x 720 HD) .mp4.
  • Do not add any music to avoid violating copyright laws. If requested, PHL17 can add music from their online music library.
  • A release form should be signed by anyone appearing in the commercial. Ages 18 and older sign the Adult Release Form. Under 18, a parent or guardian must sign the Minors Release form.
  • When recording at a location, make sure you have permission from the property owner.

Deadlines and Dates

3/29: Deadline to submit videos to the Delco Gives team (no music)

  • Each nonprofit submits its PSA to the Delco Gives team through our Google Drive, and the Delco Gives team selects the best 10
