A nonprofit organization of any kind thrives on the help and support of volunteers and the community in which it operates, but this assistance is especially vital to new nonprofits who are in the process of starting up, such as ourselves. A lot of people have questions regarding how they can help our organization and make a difference, so this blog post is answering exactly that! There are several ways you can be a part of our organization and help us thrive so we will look at each one in this post.
1. Donations: Monetary vs. Items
Monetary Donations: One way you can contribute to our cause is through monetary donations as this a vital component to our life as a nonprofit. These types of donations open a world of possibilities for our organization as they can be used to meet a wide variety of needs such as: marketing costs (brochures, website maintenance, events, etc.), operation necessities (office space costs, needed supplies for care packages, etc.), growth (programs and resources we can offer, etc.), and so much more. Disclaimer: At this junction, monetary donations are accepted and appreciated, however, they are not tax deductible for the donor until our 501(c)3 status is approved.
Item Donations: Another way you can contribute is with item donations. Item donations are always accepted and needed, as they aid in our assembly of care packages for every mother we help. Our only request for item donations is that they be items that are not related to the baby, only the mother, as this enforces our mission! If you have questions about suggested items, a list of frequently donated items can be found on the Get Involved page.
2. Volunteer
An alternate to donating to help our organization is to volunteer your time to aid in achieving our mission. As a volunteer, you can help in several ways such as inventory, assembling care packages, retrieving supplies, delivering care packages, helping with fundraisers and events, and much more! We value our volunteers and all they can help us to achieve and we are grateful for all they do! If you would like to volunteer with our organization, please fill out and submit an application which can be found on the Get Involved page.
