Hi Amber Melanie Smith, I've recently started a nonprofit and I'm having some real challenges. HELP!!!!

[@AmberMelanieSmith]

@@nikkidoten3213 Hey there! What's up?

[@eliasflores1377]

Thank you so much, Amber. This was so informative!! My and my brother are starting a campaign (for now eventually we want to work to nonprofit status) to raise awareness and money for the Alzheimer's community. We are planning our first fundraising event and this video was very helpful! I'm definitely subscribing!

Hi Amber. What are the most important points I should tell my online volunteers in the first meeting? I plan to tell them what specific tasks they are going to do in a specific time duration. Is it enough? May you add your point of views? Thanks

[@AmberMelanieSmith]

Hey there! I would recommend sharing the general idea of the tasks they'll be doing before they sign up if possible, as well as time commitment expected, etc.!

[@ShannonKnight]

Very helpful video. Any ideas for charity/fundraising event for a Teen who is interested in medical field career?

[@AmberMelanieSmith]

Is the cause they are fundraising for health related or something else?

[@williammai7571]

Amber, to be honest, running a non-profit cause is much harder than running a company (i have a business that makes money so i understand) because there is no salary for participants. What kind of specific benefits do you offer to your volunteers apart from money?

[@AmberMelanieSmith]

That is an argument that could be made (that it may be harder than running a business!). There's a ton of interesting research out there about why people volunteer their time - social connection, genuine passion for the cause, etc.! Giving people the opportunity to meet new friends, do things that interest them, etc. have been good incentives. Check out some of my videos on volunteering.

[@grass6740]

I know I'm super late, but if you have younger volunteers (high schoolers and college students), consider giving them community service hours and the experience itself may look great on their future applications.

[@ShannonKnight]

@@grass6740 EXCELLENT IDEA!

[@tonyonimole7614]

[@olijoswt3951]

Can’t you just hire an event planner? Seriously asking. If no… then why not?

[@AmberMelanieSmith]

Sure, you can do that. Not every organization can afford to do that, though.
