" Show Me the Volunteerism (And I'll Show You the
Money)"
Jane Leighty Justis' Mission to Reveal Volunteerism as a Magnet for Funders
and a Key to Organizational Sustainability
As told to Anna M. Seidman
Excerpted from Article:
The people who must raise funds often have little idea about the volunteer
management aspect of their own agencies. Development staff and Coordinators
of Volunteers frequently know little about the financial assets of volunteers
active with the organization and rarely ask these volunteers to make financial
contributions. Coordinators of Volunteers are happy to remain ignorant
of the financial concerns of the agency and could not even imagine asking
for money from those who already offer their time. Development staff are
also unaware that funders may see data on volunteer involvement as a measure
of how effectively an agency will manage their human and financial resources.
Development staff also fail to recognize that there are funders who would
be willing to fund projects to improve an agency's effectiveness through
better management of its own volunteers.
