April 26, 2021Your office is closed, your donor base is in hiding and your volunteers are stuck at home, so what’s a small business or non-profit to do? The bigger question might be, is it even worth it to continue paying for social media during these difficult times? The answer is a resounding YES!
June 23, 2022About 59% of Canadians aged 15 and older, have volunteered. That’s a lot of volunteering by a lot of people motivated to help others for a plethora of reasons. Yet this important resource can sometimes be overlooked – or undervalued – by organizations that rely on them to do jobs that may not be done by paid staff. The operative word being: “jobs.” That’s an important term to note for any business or charity that engages a volunteer because there are legal requirements and protections that deal specifically with volunteer rights.
July 21, 2022How many of us have faced this scenario: someone walks through the doors of your organization, unsolicited, and expresses interest in getting involved with your cause. They haven’t responded to a specific posting and it is clear that they have skills to offer. What do you do? Do you have a process in place to determine if and where there is a fit for their passion and skill-set? Vantage Point called this scenario reactive volunteer engagement and came up with a proactive tool to help organizations take advantage of these unsolicited but potentially valuable “knowledge philanthropists”.
