Membership Strategy

Project details

What we need
  • A Membership Strategy document of 2-4 pages, including analysis of the Organization’s current membership program, step-by-step guide to a new or improved program, growth goals and creative outreach strategies
Additional details

I am running a non profit's volunteer department. As such, my volunteers are both my "employees" so I wear an HR hat, and my "clients" so I wear the marketing hat. I need assistance in finding and telling prospective volunteers about the programs we have; and attracting those who have never volunteered before.

What we have in place
  • We currently have members, resources, director, will and heart, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have software to track, and manage volunteers, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $5,848 , allowing us to buy more food to feed our elderly population. Each meal costs are $4 to make in supplies and labor; all other costs are provided by the volunteers.

The Riverdale Y is a non profit community center that serves the Bronx, NY people ages 2 to 102. We have an early childhood program, older adult care, and everything in between. A lot of services run on volunteer labor.
