Youtube.com launched a non-profit program last September. So if your non-profit is looking for a different way to market itself, or an easy entrance into the viral marketing world, you might want to check this out.
Some of the Jewish organizations that have opened their own YouTube channels include:
- Birthright Israel
- The 92nd Street Y
- Jewish Funds for Justice
- American Jewish World Service
- The Save Darfur Coalition, which was co-founded by AJWS
- Chabad
- The American Jewish Committee (If you’re feeling charitable, the AJC has only one friend. And it looks like it is itself. It’s not all that suprising, as its lead video is kind of a downer.)
- The Associated: Jewish Federation of Baltimore
- The Canadian Jewish Congress (Come on, check it out. See what it’s all aboot.)
- Charitywater.org isn’t Jewish, but the channel of the organization working for safe drinking water for third-world countries leads off with a video (at the top of this post) featuring member-of-the-tribe Jennifer Connelly.
