YouTube for nonprofits, reloaded with new tutorials and features
Wednesday, January 18, 2012
Nonprofits are an important part of the YouTube community, and their videos have educated and inspired audiences since the early days of the site. We launched the
YouTube Nonprofit Program
in 2007 to help organizations take their work to the next level, and since then, more than 16,000 nonprofits have joined the program. There are hundreds of nonprofit organizations with millions of views on YouTube, and dozens with more than ten million views, like
Greenpeace
,
Khan Academy
and
UNICEF
.
We’ve made a couple of updates to the program that we hope will help nonprofits use video in new and compelling ways.
The Playbook Guide: YouTube for Good
.
This is a how-to resource
specifically targeted at nonprofit organizations, with sections on how to create content, raise funds, connect with other community members and more.
Improved features.
As part of our
new Channels design
, we’ve made the donate button on nonprofit channels even more prominent, making it easier than ever to support the causes you care about.
If you’re a
YouTube Nonprofit Program
with other ideas about how we can make the program better, tell us your suggestions in the comments below! If you’re a nonprofit in the U.S., U.K., Canada or Australia and not yet a member, visit
