Each year, Trespasser pledges to dedicate a portion of its work to nonprofit organizations — a commitment rooted in our belief that creativity should serve a greater purpose. Through storytelling, strategy, and visual impact, we partner with mission-driven groups to help amplify their voices, inspire action, and create lasting change. Whether it’s producing films that preserve wildlands, campaigns that promote public safety, or initiatives that improve lives, our annual giveback reflects who we are at our core — a creative agency that uses its craft to make a real difference.
American Cancer Society Cultivate
Trespasser partnered with the American Cancer Society to launch Cultivate: Because Food Fuels Life — a campaign designed to celebrate the power of nourishment as a cornerstone of healing, resilience, and community. We led creative direction and production from concept to delivery, developing the visual identity, storytelling framework, and video content that brought the initiative to life. The campaign highlighted the vital connection between nutrition and recovery, featuring real people and heartfelt stories that made science feel human and hope tangible. Through thoughtful visuals, authentic messaging, and cinematic storytelling, Cultivate redefined how the American Cancer Society engages audiences around wellness, reminding viewers that what we grow, cook, and share can be a force for life itself.
ELDORADO RCD
Over the past few years, Trespasser has transformed the El Dorado RCD's visual identity, revamping their previously dull government website into a vibrant, interactive platform. The new site effectively communicates the organization's mission and highlights the critical importance of post-fire recovery and fire management. Throughout the project, Trespasser captured the impact of pre-fire management strategies, as evidenced before and after the Caldor Fire, demonstrating the necessity of proper forest management. Now, El Dorado RCD stands out as a leader in the RCD community, serving as a model for others to emulate.
American River Conservancy
TRSPSR recently completed a film for The American River Conservancy about their El Dorado Ranch project, marking a significant milestone as their largest acquisition to date. This legacy project successfully saved El Dorado Ranch from development, ensuring its preservation for future generations.
