Michael -

I shared this post with some of my Google colleagues. However - I’m pretty sure it already does what you’re talking about. Check out the channel for the 92nd Street Y at http://youtube.com/92ndStreetY. Under the Donate button on the left hand side is a box that says “Connect with the 92nd Street Y.” Complete with typical social networking “friend” and “share” features.

There’s a larger discussion implicit here - can video drive donations? Do social networks drive donations? I don’t think we have the answers yet. My guess is that both contribute to your brand and may make people more likely to give when asked in more traditional ways - direct mail, email, website. But we just don’t have enough long-term and wide-spread data to know.
