Looking for Volunteers?

You are about to begin a major gifts campaign.  Where do you look for volunteers?

Try looking in Annual Reports, Business and Foundation Directories, Country Club Members, Steering Committees,  Boards of other non-profits or businesses, service clubs, Banks, Honor Societies, etc.  The names you see will help you to identify community minded individuals.  You ae looking for someone already connected with your organization.

Remember to recruit downward.  Your most influential person should be your campaign chair.  The chairperson can then look to his/her circle of influence to assist in filling the top of the committee levels.
