162. Fundraising Ideas That Work For Grassroots Groups - 3 Will you be able to work shortterm volunteers into your program? What do they want to get out of their volunteer work? http://www.pch.gc.ca/progs/pc-cp/pubs/e/Fr4gras3.htm

Chapter Working with Volunteers Setting up the Task Force Any organization that hopes to succeed in raising money needs a Fundraising Committee or Task Force with a mandate of responsibility for fundraising. The traditional model calls for all board members to take an active role in fundraising. This model seldom applies to grassroots groups. For example, in many organizations, the board is unwilling or unable to do fundraising. In an umbrella group, the board members may be representatives of other levels of the group, and feel their first loyalty is to their home branch. If board members are consumers of your group's services they may have no interest or experience in fundraising. Board members may also be appointed by funders, or brought in for other expertise. Even when the board is willing and able to fundraise, they typically have too many other responsibilities. do the work, not just talk about it. Membership in the Fundraising Task Force (or whatever you choose to call it) group should imply taking an active role. The people on the central Task Force should all be leaders of sub-groups, and have the necessary teams of people to carry out the work.

section contents All-volunteer groups Volunteer policies Induction and training Thanking and supporting ... Volunteers and paid staff  how they can function effectively... Introduction The vast majority of volunteering is done in settings which involve no paid staff. For example: Most newly created groups Most community groups Many self-help/mutual aid groups Many religious/spiritual groups 'Friends' groups Local branches of national organisations Grass-roots groups Recreational/hobby groups Residents' associations. These all-volunteer groups are very important in creating and maintaining quality of life. Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. - Margaret Mead The importance of passion Volunteers will only do, in the long-term, what they believe to be meaningful; enthusiasm for the cause is therefore absolutely essential. A shared passion within the organisation is the ultimate 'glue' of the group; without this, it will crumble. The only way to achieve this is by taking time out from day-to-day implementation to discuss your vision for the future and your values. As this will change over time, you must keep doing it. To ensure ongoing motivation, keep reminding yourself what the world would be like if the group did not exist. Setting realistic goals In the absence of paid staff, you must be tough and realistic about what is achievable with the limited resources that you have. This means saying 'no', often! Setting yourself goals which are unattainable can be very bad for morale. The only targets which are feasible are those which volunteers are willing to work at to achieve. Volunteers will only feel motivated to do something when they feel they have had a say in what has to be done. 'Ownership' of the group's goals is therefore very important. Try and involve everyone, both new and old members, in the setting of goals and ascertain what they are personally willing to contribute to achieve these goals. Once goals are achieved, don't forget to celebrate!
