Great nonprofit videos: Get inspired

Allison Fine has a terrific post on her blog highlighting her favorite videos of the year from nonprofits.  What is encouraging about her list is that along with incredibly well-produced examples (such as the stellar Charity: Water video below), there are homemade videos that also pack an emotional punch (I love the ballet rehearsal).

I encourage you to experiment with video this year.  There is just no substitute for the immediacy and intimacy that an authentic video can bring.  Just be sure you provide a way to TAKE ACTION immediately when you move people.  I’m a fan of this video from Nomadsland for that reason.
