Volunteers are the catalysts within an organization. Without them, it’s very difficult to get things done.
This reliance is even more acute when trying to raise significant sums of money for specific, mission-critical efforts.
Affinity Connection’s Volunteer Management solution is based on the fact that the most effective way to raise funds is through personal, person-to-person solicitation. Ours is simply a systematic, proven program for friends to recruit other friends for their support.
The solution includes:
Targeted, grassroots research to determine the climate for volunteering and giving.
Detailed data analysis to recommend the best course of action.
Planning the work and working the plan – goal setting, business cases, recommended giving levels and solicitation amounts, and a timeline for execution.
Volunteer Recruitment - Identifying and recruiting volunteer leaders. Supporting those leaders, once in place, by providing training, giving history, biographical information, and other data.
Volunteer Training - Affinity Connection provides live/phone-in training sessions and a comprehensive manual for all volunteers.
Volunteer Network Management - Campaign volunteers MUST be fully informed about the campaign – how else are they supposed to raise money? Affinity Connection provides an online volunteer resource center, which includes all training and motivational documents, as well as a dynamic access to prospective donor contact information.
Pledge Fulfillment - Affinity Connection will initiate a pledge fulfillment system for the annual fund. (Note: Affinity Connection’s pledges are fulfilled an average of 90% of the time. Organizations that manage pledge fulfillment on a volunteer basis see only 10-30% of their pledges actually paid in full.)
