2. We will discuss tips for using social media to help your cause or your favorite nonprofit organization. We will also share how our community volunteers, who are “Social Media Lovers for a Cause”, can help promote your events and get the word out about your needs. Please bring your laptop computer with you so we can show you how to access and utilize the various features on the CommunityCause.org website.

4. We will teach you how to use different parts of the website to communicate what you need to community volunteers. All services offered on CommunityCause.org are offered by community volunteers and all services are completely Free to nonprofit organizations. If you wish, you will receive help creating your own project (like Kickstarter or GoFundMe for nonprofits) so that we can get to work finding you what you need to make your project a success.
5. Finally, we will get a head count of how many people might be interested in attending a nonprofit conference, also Free, to learn new skills to help nonprofits. We also want to find out who might want to work together to help plan such a nonprofit conference. Here are the details:

Benefits of Partnering with CommunityCause.org
***We will have a group of volunteers whose services can be utilized by any nonprofit, school or other philanthropic organization. The volunteers will not be attached to any one organization. They will be a pool of volunteers that any partner organization can access. They will “float” between organizations as needed. Many volunteers in our Community Skill Bank have professional skills and expertise.
***We will have one group of volunteers whose sole mission is to secure donations of food & other supplies on behalf of us all.
***We will have an Outreach Team visiting Businesses, Senior Centers, Schools, Universities & Colleges recruiting volunteers. A Volunteer Coordinator will keep track of your volunteer needs and strive to help you fill positions. We will make connections with professors & students to spread the word out internship and capstone project opportunities with nonprofits.
***We will have a Marketing & Innovation Team that will work on increasing awareness about issues & services relevant to your philanthropic organization. They will also work to find innovative ways of increasing public awareness of the volunteer & donation needs of the participating organizations.
***We will have a Social Media Marketing Team of volunteers and a Fundraising Team that will work on projects to benefit us all.
***We will have a group of volunteers that do presentations, attend volunteer recruitment events, visit organizations requesting volunteers, donated items and resources on behalf of all of us. They will bring the information & brochures of all participating philanthropic organizations to every event and promote all organizations equally.
***We will keep you informed of events & training opportunities in the community that may assist you in managing your nonprofit, connect with supportive community organizations and promote the services & needs of your nonprofit or other philanthropic organization.
***We will help you to promote your classes, events, fundraisers and volunteer trainings by using our connections in the community and through social media.
***We will offer volunteer training for your volunteers. We will have the ability to do volunteer trainings to benefit all philanthropic organizations that want to use this service. You may send as many of your volunteers as you wish to the trainings free of charge.
***We will have a joint storage facility where donated items will be stored and any philanthropic organization can freely take the items they need from the storage unit. They can also drop off what they do not need and wish to share.
***We will have a Lending Library for items others are willing to Share & Lend. For instance, if one organization has extra resources or items, they can retain ownership of them and leave them at the storage unit. They are then available to lend out or to be “checked out” by organizations that need them.
***We will have a specialized team of volunteers who work to solve the problems that members of the public have. They will specialize in directing people to resources. There will be “Help Desk” volunteers who help the public solve common problems. There will also be Ombudsmen community volunteers who specialize in solving especially complicated problems. Ombudsmen will also help advocate in specific situations that need more attention or require system change.
***We will post cases on line and everyone will have the ability to see the new “Requests for Help” that are entering the system and comment on what their organization is able to do to help. A project will be opened up on each new case and all can work on the case and be fully aware of what others are doing to try to help.
***We will assist you in “marketing” your community projects, fundraisers & post your “Helping Hand” projects for on our website.
***We will assist you in getting Community Sponsors to help cover some of the costs of running your philanthropic organization. We will be looking for sponsorship from local business, schools & faith communities.
***We will have a Speakers Bureau of volunteers willing to go out to speak for Free on various related topics. Please let us know if there are topics that you are willing to give presentations on. Speakers Bureau of volunteers will go to schools, businesses, faith communities and anywhere else to increase awareness about animal issues.
***We will be giving Free seminars to the public on topics of interest to the community. We will be informing the public about where the local resources are for solutions to the most common issues that people face (issues related to Animals, Seniors, Veterans, Children/Teens, Women & Women’s issues, Social Equity Issues, the Environment, Physical & Mental Health, Education, etc. This is an effort to teach members of the community about how to respond to common questions that their own friends, family & colleagues may be asking them regarding common issues. Because they are known as a person interested in specific topics in their social network, we want to prepare them with current & accurate information. We want them to serve as “information booths” of good information to all those who know them.
***We will also be available to provide emotional encouragement & support to each other as we do this meaningful but difficult work in nonprofit and other philanthropic organizations.
