Mentoring a non-profit organization is a great way to give back and make a difference in the community. You can help an organization grow, or help them start from scratch. For example, you could volunteer to be on their board of directors for three years as they go through incorporation. The first year would be dedicated to getting as many people as possible involved with the organization’s mission and vision. In the second year, you would work on developing strategies that will bring in more revenue for your cause, such as sponsorships or membership dues. Finally, during the third year of your commitment to this non-profit group you’ll work on helping them establish long term goals so that they can continue operating after you leave office.
How to start with sip?
Nonprofits are opening up to the idea of Social Impact Planning as a way to be more sustainable and to better serve its mission. They have found that by integrating sip into their organization, they can identify what is needed for success and make sure all employees know how they fit in. This also helps them understand how each department should work together for maximum efficiency. Nonprofit organizations who have integrated SIP report higher levels of engagement among staff, increased innovation, better use of resources, and improved employee satisfaction which leads to greater productivity. The only thing holding nonprofits back is fear or not knowing where or how to start.
A Non-profit organization is an organization that uses its surplus of funds to achieve a particular social goal. A non-profit can be organized as either a corporation, trust, or unincorporated association.
