TikTok for Charity: the Ultimate Guide

By: TrustDriven

TikTok is the hottest trend right now. Since Covid-19 hit, more and more people are downloading the app to their phones. If you haven't already gotten TikTok, you should! Not only is it super entertaining, but there is a whole section on TikTok for charity. For those unfamiliar, the platform consists of creating videos dancing, lip-syncing, acting, singing, cooking, drawing, and so much more in a minute or less. I downloaded the app a few weeks ago and have become hooked! There is something for everyone on TikTok, even nonprofit organizations.

Volunteer Recruiting is like Dating

By: Thomas W. Mckee

Getting someone to volunteer is like the dating process–getting to know each other and finally asking the commitment question. In recruiting we are not asking for marriage. We are asking for a date–a date to demonstrate the value of our organization, our cause, our mission and the opportunity to make a difference. Each date is filled with opportunities for exchange, questions, and feedback. The goal of the future dates is to tell volunteers that you’d like their help. Now that they’ve had a taste, it’s okay to present your need.
