Summer of Service - Helping Hands, Building Community

 

We're launching a campaign to stimulate summertime volunteerism to provide Reno/Sparks non-profit organizations with interested and productive volunteers. We're currently in the "quiet", planning phase, as we ramp up for significant exposure.

 

As you well know, there are many ways volunteers can help our organizations. Plus, there are thousands of people available to serve those needs. The campaign is aimed at all local residents, but we're placing additional emphasis on high school students and tourists. The success of the campaign, however, is the documentation of volunteer positions. This is where you, the non-profit leader, come in.

 

We expect the promotion of this campaign to reach thousands of northern Nevada residents through social media, television, radio, and print promotions. As we prepare for the public launch, we are attracting the "endorsements" of local businesses, which plan to share the volunteer opportunities to their employees and clients.

 

To participate in this no-cost campaign, we ask that you prepare and submit volunteer job descriptions using the Nevada Volunteers website. Please accept a call or email from a member of the NPcatalyst team to help you through the process. We're scheduled to publicly launch the three-month campaign on June 1st.

HealthCheck "strong" rating for Sierra Nevada Journeys

 

We're proud to announce that Sierra Nevada Journeys is our most recent HealthCheck participant. The locally-based organization was very interested in receiving a charity rating, as a means of improving performance and leveraging it for increased support. The rating system is similar to others, such as Charity Navigator, but addresses five key management indicators to derive a much truer analysis of the organization's effectiveness.

 

Unsure about how the HealthCheck tool would provide a benefit to his organization, Jonathan Mueller, SNJ's executive director soon realized the true value.

"What I'm coming to understand about the value of this Healthcheck process is not necessarily the rating itself (though that's important), but the best-practices it ends up prompting.  To that end NPCatalyst is doing great work ensuring that we're adhering to those best practices."
