Whether embarking on a fund-raising campaign, trying to attract attention to a cause, or seeking new volunteers, nonprofits are increasingly turning to videos.

What is involved in producing a video campaign? How much should a nonprofit expect to spend? What types of information about a nonprofit should a video convey? What are the best ways to tell your group's story and show its impact through video? How might video fit in with a nonprofit's communications strategy?

Join us on Tuesday, August 30, at noon U.S. Eastern time for a live online discussion about the ways nonprofits can use videos to raise money, tell a story, and spread the word about their cause.
