Dissolve has provided its contributors with information about a special marketing campaign - Dissolve for a Cause - it has launched. Under this program, agencies and studios working on pro bono projects may apply to receive up to $2,500 in royalty-free footage or photography.
Dissolve expects this program to resonate strongly with agency customers and prospects, as well as encourage the good work of recognized nonprofits and charities around the world. For more about the program, and to watch the video created to launch it go to

Content licensed through Dissolve for a Cause falls under a pro bono license, which is a six-month license for restricted use valued at 50% off the content’s suggested retail price. While Dissolve does not collect payment for pro bono licenses, at its expense, it will pay royalties to contributors at their usual percentage rate based on the pro bono license value. For example, content licensed through this program that has a regular price of $79 on Dissolve would have a pro bono license value of $39.50. Dissolve will calculate the contributor royalty payment based on the $39.50 value.
