YouTube rolled out a program for nonprofits that will help charities promote their cause using the power of video. They’re offering a free video camera to the first 300 nonprofits that sign up and no doubt they’re going fast.

U.S. nonprofits with 501(c)(3) tax status are eligible so get in touch with your favorite cause and encourage them to check out this new program.
