The first-Valerio Melandri Italian blog on fundraising

The people of Padua raiser

Data: March 16, 2007

I am to Padua to take a training course for volunteers.
From fundraising to raising people. But you really need to find volunteers? Nonprofit organization can exist without volunteers? You can exploit fully the "voluntary" as "voluntary" or we will just make use of volunteers as simple laborers "at less cost."
How much of the credibility of its ability to be "special" employee, is valued? How different is the contribution that a person can give to a nonprofit organization paid.
In practice, the basic question is: "if you had an unlimited budget, no staff problems of any kind, you will use also the volunteers? If you do not have problems of scarcity of economic resources also would like the volunteers participate with you? "We must be honest and answer this question, because if you give yourself the answer is" no, I would try them, but would do anything with the staff paid "then maybe you should think ... discuss!

    I believe that the fundamental problem of some volunteers (and I do volunteer work) is that they think that since they can do good in any way. And here come the tyrannies ("I am better than you"), property ("the presidents volunteers who serve for many years"), the fighting ("do as I say because I do not know, I am more expert than you "). Sometimes lacks a real sharing of what you do, there is no coordination on the part of the paid staff, who then could be set to activate additional resources to the volunteer nonprofit organization. I also believe that without the voluntary system would collapse immediately because the Third Sector Volunteers are extremely important for the entire nonprofit sector.
