Online photo-sharing opportunity for nonprofits

It seems that Flickr, an online photo sharing company (who we happen to have an account with), has teamed up with TechSoup to offer nonprofit organizations the opportunity to share their stories through the use of digital images. This all according to an article in the recent issue of Fundraising Success.

Get this, the first 10,000 memberships are free for qualified non profits (normal cost is $25/ year). Organizations will be able to upload unlimited number of images to their site.

Flickr feels that nonprofits have unique stories to share with the world, and that digital photos are one way in which they can do so. I happen to agree with them. In my recent plunge into frigid Lake Mahopac for Cystic Fibrosis, the pictures that were taken showed jubilation, not hypothermia.

Apparently, there is no deadline to take part in this giveaway, but the 10,000 memberships are available on a first come first serve basis. Get ‘em while they’re hot!

21st Century = Mass Innovation

Thanks to Darryl at Brandflakes for pointing this out. This is a really creative and well thought out production about the web, ideas, and how we interact today. In my opinion - great food for thought and creative inspiration for marketers. A must watch.
