Today is World Water Day! While there are many, many organizations working on water-related issues all around the world, there’s one I want to highlight: Water for People. We know that you can’t resolve issues in your own community or another one with quick fix solutions; as social changemakers and nonprofits, we look for the sustainable opportunities for shifting systems for a better outcome and a better world.

Last week I was down in Austin, TX, for the 2012 South by Southwest Interactive Festival. Even though the majority of the attendees representing big brands, companies, and start-ups, the nonprofit technology contingency still had a strong showing with many socially good focused sessions on the agenda, the Beacon Lounge, and plenty of extracurricular events.

[This post is cross-posted from the NTEN blog.]. With so many incredible videos submitted to this year’s contest it was no easy task, but judges in the 6th Annual DoGooder Nonprofit Video Awards have narrowed down the field of entries to 16 finalists. Now, the YouTube community has the opportunity to get involved and cast their vote for the best nonprofit videos of the past year.
