Make a plan for what you're going to film. Write out the script.

Film your video and edit it if you'd like. Here are some tips for creating your videos:

Once you have a finalized version, upload your video to YouTube.
Publicize your creative genius. You might post your video on your organization's website. (If you don't already have a presence on the web, easily create a blog or webpage.)
Once you have a few videos, apply for a YouTube non-profit channel that can be branded specifically for your organization. You'll also have the option to collect donations on your channel with Google Checkout.
