Nonprofit Video and Thought Leadership
Hey All!
I had a great time putting my video thought leadership hat on with the TechSoup folks this week. We partnered up with a bunch of other industry leaders to do a Live Chat and Video show about how nonprofits are using video to SHOW their mission. Want to check it out and find out more? And get to hear about the new FLIP Camera donation program with Cisco and Techsoup?

Nonprofits + Surfing + Coding = Radass
Check out this cool gues post from the folks at Warm Current:
Warm Current began when we (traveling surfers) noticed the disparity between ourselves and those in the communities we visited. Now a 501(c)3, Warm Current serves underprivileged communities and youth globally through donations of surfing equipment and locally through kids surfing programs. The Faces of Warm Current campaign is a fund raiser to finance new kids surfboards, wetsuits and a trailer for our underserved kids surfing program.
It’s easy but very cold to simply ask for a donation and we wanted a fun, turn-key way to engage our benefactors, build a community and grow our organization. For $5, folks can donate to Warm Current and in return can upload a photo of themselves that we’ll use to populate a large mosaic on the side of our trailer. It’s an indirect way benefactors can be involved in our kids surf camps.
The application was built from the ground up using tools such as Amazon S3, MongoHQ and Heroku. The code will be released next week so others looking to run a similar campaign can leverage what we’ve built and be able focus on their audience and message and not the technical logistics.

Are you in NYC? Into Live Art?
Givology, a global education non-profit, has partnered with the Jubilee Project and respected graphic artist Joseph Kilrain to bring you “Make Your Mark: Live Art Display” in Union Square, NYC on Friday, June 17.
Joseph Kilrain has created a large artistic rendering of the world map, and during the display, you are invited to contribute by placing a fingerprint on the map where you would like to help educate a child. Givology’s sponsors have pledged money for each fingerprint collected, and the organization will send 100% of the funding raised to schools in the location(s) you choose. With one small fingerprint, you can have a huge impact on the life of a child.
The event will be held outdoors at Union Square (14th St. and Union Square) on the South Plaza near the George Washington statue. Donors will receive free t-shirts and giveaways. This event aspires to inspire people all over the country to take action and give back – Givology invites everyone to join us in Union Square on June 17 to make your mark on the world!
