Volunteers and donors are both crucial to the success of an organization, often overlapping in their roles and contributions. This dual involvement fosters a stronger community connection and ensures the organization can effectively fulfill its mission. Join us as we explore the intersection of volunteerism and philanthropy including:
- What common challenges arise in managing the relationship between volunteers and donors?
- What role does communication play in maintaining strong relationships with volunteers and donors?
- How can organizations balance the needs and expectations of their volunteers and donors to maximize impact?
Want to kick-start a conversation with your development or fundraising colleagues about the Volunteer-Donor Connection?
Invite them to join the session! Contact Anne at the email below to arrange their participation.
This is the third of a four-part series on community-building in our field; look for a discussion on the volunteer engagement professional community in December. Some highlights from our last MAVA Connections gathering, Exploring Community Engagement:
- …When the community can see a face with the organization, they can make a connection personally and become invested…
- It's harder to recruit since so many work remotely still. I feel like we've done really well here, but you can still see the difference...and have to take a different approach to get individuals.
- Takeaway: Spending more time on what we really mean when we say community engagement (as a Volunteer Engagement team and as an organization)
