In 2007 Booz Allen Hamilton set out to help small nonprofits in the Washington, D.C. area gain access to expert advice and guidance on management and fundraising that was otherwise unattainable for them due to cost. In the four years since, the Booz Allen Hamilton Nonprofit Development Conference Series has grown exponentially and now successfully serves more than 400 unique nonprofit organizations with top tier guest speakers from around the metropolitan area who provide the sorely needed advice and guidance.
Volunteerism on a budget
By Susan Thomas, Assistant Director, Electronic Communications, Boston College Center
In these tough economic times, we know that it is difficult to maintain your business, let alone your volunteer programs. While the community benefits of volunteering are clear, many companies are asking themselves if volunteering is really a business essential in these difficult times.
“Volunteerism on a Budget,” the fourth in our Toolkit for a Tough Economy series, was created to help you show corporate leadership the business benefits of volunteer programs, even in a down economy. Inside you will find examples of companies that are being creative in maintaining their volunteer programs while on a limited budget as well as resources that you can use to improve your company’s volunteer program.
These tools are provided in both PowerPoint and Adobe PDF formats so you may view them in a meeting or share them with your colleagues. You can view the two versions by clicking on the following links. (All tools are available only to Center members; login is required to view them.)
