Nick Booth, over at Podnosh, has a double goody for anyone interested in online fundraising. Nick met up with Beth Kanter at the workshop we ran recently in Birmingham, and interviewed her about the way in which she and friends raised nearly $50,000 - then matched by Yahoo - for a Cambodian children's charity. As you can see here, courtesy of Paul Henderson, we had a lot of fun with technology-assisted conversation.
The fundraising was done using a widget on Beth's blog. Nick has more about widgets in his post, and also offers a download of a briefing sheet about online fundraising written for the Birmingham Community Empowerment Network. Nick is rather pleased that he is able to offer the interview as a podcast with the pdf attached to the feed, and can't resist pdfcasting as a new bit of technobabble. I'm just in awe of the great stuff social media bloggers are managing to achieve with these tools - whatever you call them. Must edit my own video too.
