DoGooderTV--YouTube for Non-Profits

Previously we talked about using YouTube to provide a videoshowcase for non-profits. But now via Dollar Philanthropy (a later post is coming on that), I see that C3 has started DoGooderTV, a video social networking site specifically for non-profits.

According to the DoGooderTV site:

DoGooderTV enables nonprofit organizations to present new videos and existing media assets to new audiences. Once site visitors see the compelling stories of nonprofits, DoGooderTV gives them a direct way to donate to the organization, join, volunteer or simply find out more information.

Interested 501C3s may sign up for a free account which provides them with a free web page, 100 MB of space to store their videos and the opportunity for viewers to donate, volunteer, etc. While the link to donations is currently a link back to the organization's site, C3 is in the process of working with a third party provider to have a "Donate Now" button included as part of your web page. This would allow viewers to click on the button and donate immediately, which as we all know, can sometimes be the difference between getting a donation or not getting one.

UPDATE--As you can see from the comments, Carol has posted a more extensive version of her interview with Michael Hoffman at her site, Driving in Traffic. Part One is up now and Part Two will be coming soon. Check it out.

Thanks for the shout out. Michael Hoffman actually gave me a great interview which I will be posting in two posts on my personal blog, www.drivingintraffic.com. I have posted it there because much of what he has to say is more applicable to NPOs who are thinking about using more interactive media to market their cause. I've set aside DollarPhilanthropy to be a resource for donors and to encourage charitible giving to issues that are close to the heart.

Please drop by www.drivingintraffic.com to read much more from my interview with Michael Hoffman.

Thanks again, Carol
