The first nonprofit to achieve one billion views on YouTube is Sesame Street, a 
production of Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit educational organisation.

Appropriately Sesame Street character Count von Count celebrates this milestone 
with a video of his own, "Counting the 'You's in YouTube". This video alone has 
already been viewed nearly 46,000 times.
