The first-Valerio Melandri Italian blog on fundraising

Layoffs and voluntary?

Data: May 7, 2010

21022009(005) I received the following email from a student of the Master in Fundraising.

There is certainly a risk that the intern can be a quick fix of maternity leave, to budget shortfalls, staffing budget cut to the bone (not because there is money, but why not invest in staff is a common strategy many Italian ONP). But I feel fine, maybe a little naive and 'naive (not the idea itself, but does not consider the thousands of bureaucratic chicanery that can block something so reasonable), but certainly sincere, and in the right direction. What say you?

Dear Prof,
in the wake of my experience I am writing for advice on what follows.
Many companies have turned in recent months procedures redundancy fund (or Extraordinary), and therefore many workers are employed at the time with low monthly salaries.
The nonprofit could use this moment in your favor?
You may contact the companies with IGC procedures open to them a proposal for CRM: ... in turn cassintegrati interns! The CIG employees interested in providing their services at a nonprofit could receive:

  • reimbursement of expenses, which would add up to the amount received in IGC
  • the possibility 'of not remaining idle during the IGC, to do some experience with data entry, reception ... In love with a cause!

The contract would be a positive outcome for everyone:

  • the employee would IGC way to round off and would have a daily task (experience spendable also for finding a future job or be spent in his company at the end of the IGC)
  • The new nonprofit would labor, greater visibility ', new unexplored basins of friends of the cause ...
  • profit the company could be considered intelligent not to leave idle its workforce and could benefit from the partnership at a low cost (the equivalent of expenses).

What do you think?
Another reflection 'as follows: we are reaching agreements with several companies in the pre-retirement. Employees of 50-55 years are encouraged to leave jobs to new generations. Right. But these people, with lots of experience, have little desire to leave office, and so afraid of atrophy on the couch, then, reluctantly accepted the agreements. Li ', at that time, the nonprofit should contact them. In that instant must propose assignments. Not 'profiteering, and' seize the moment!
I'm seeing potential volunteers or ...? See you soon

    Hello everyone,
    I tried last year with a major Italian company to think about these issues and I waxed this kind of experience outside of Italy. There were a number of problems we have encountered and which have blocked the project, between the points of weakness emerged:
    1) the risk of creating expectations in the people involved, in most cases, people thought they could be placed in the nonprofit and then to find a new job;
    2) the intersection between supply and demand and between people who are on temporary layoff and who are accepted into the nonprofit. It is not easy to be able to identify a series of ONP able to accept new people. I had thought of the service centers for the volunteer (CSV) for their ability to identify the needs of nonprofits at the local level.
    3) the capacity on the part of nonprofits, to create paths for reception and accompanying persons will be included.

    In the context of Marche where I live, Stano many businesses closing because of the crisis or many labor contracts are expiring and finding a new job one could envisage the possibility to use their free time in social activities.
    The nonprofit offers many opportunities to socialize and volunteer experience, which some have turned into real work.
    Do not be discouraged because life always offers new opportunities, and there are businesses that do not arise, seeking labor.
    The experience of volunteering in the nonprofit sector is made aware, that is, without the illusion of a new job, will be a springboard to another.
    The following volunteer graduates in public institutions, for example, are more prepared to face competition and find work later.
    The layoffs and unemployment are transitional periods must live as such, without being discouraged, because there are always new opportunities: if a company closes another is opening!

    I think maybe we should take a trip to the canteen of the local Caritas or the parish or counseling centers, to really understand how large the crisis that no one, no one tells. The priority of the person laid off is to find work, the priority of having a fixed term contract is to understand what will happen after the deadline. In part I agree with the proposal made by the reader in the email sent to Melandri, in part perhaps nonprofits should be able to give more motivation to volunteer to volunteer. The crisis of volunteering, that is there but nobody talks about, is given by an inability of nonprofits to give reasons for volunteering. Able to motivate people laid off or cassaintegrate?
