For the past two years, Christopher Davenport, a filmmaker at 501 Videos, a Seattle company that makes documentaries and videos for nonprofit organizations, has offered a free weekly video on fund raising.
Movie Mondays, as the series is known, provides free three- to five-minute videos every week on fund-raising topics such as arranging a visit with a donor, using humor to connect with board members, and seeking gifts through e-mail.
To commemorate the release of his 100th fund-raising video on May 17, Mr. Davenport is asking viewers to help him decide which ones deserve to be featured in a “top 10″ DVD of the videos that will given away free to those who weigh in on the decision.
To encourage fund raisers to vote, Mr. Davenport has created an online survey.
