New Site Aims to Be YouTube for Charities

A recently launched Web site is billing itself as the YouTube for nonprofits. World Flix, a 501(c)(3) public-benefit corporation, empowers activists from across the world to bring attention to global issues through video.

The site hosts videos of social programs from across the globe and allows donors to pool their resources with other donors to help programs that otherwise would lack significant economic support. After a video raises its target amount, the site will continue to host updated video clips showing how the money raised is helping a given cause so that donors can see their contributions at work.
