Free Lessons on Solving Fund-Raising Problems

A new series of free videos featuring senior fund raisers who talk about “their joys, frustrations, and how they overcome their challenges” on the job will be available starting on Monday, April 21

The videos, Movie Mondays for Development Directors, are being offered by 501 Videos and its founder, Christopher Davenport, who creates documentary films and videos, including footage that charities use to raise money.

The new videos, lasting about five minutes apiece, will be offered weekly for five weeks. Fund raisers can sign up on the Movie Mondays Web site to receive them by e-mail

Mr. Davenport says that the video series cost him $100,000, which he has raised from donors “who have an interest in seeing nonprofits do well.”

(For more on the ways fund raisers solve problems, see Working It Out, a recent Chronicle article that examined common challenges.)
