1. You have limited resources; your time, your skills, your connections, and your funds. You want to
know that your resource investment will be effective for your organization and worthwhile for you.
So how can you find out BEFORE you say “yes” to volunteering or making a gift?
You will uncover the relationship expectations between volunteers, donors, and organizations, be-
come familiar with public information available to you RIGHT NOW about organizations that
showcases their effectiveness (or lack of), and set guidelines to help you find the “right non-profit
fit” for your expectations of your volunteer service or donation.
