Description

Good Deed Foundation will take the recruiting and engagement of professional volunteers to a new level in order to more effectively and systematically support social initiatives. These new volunteer experts are necessary for the Foundation because they will increase its development and its capabilities. In this regard, we would like to launch a development project that will increase:  

- the ability of our team to bring together impactful NGOs with capable volunteers,  

- NGOs'' knowledge and opportunities to involve professional volunteers,  

- opportunities for finding volunteer work that matches the skills of professional volunteers. 

 During the project, we organize events to introduce professional volunteering both to volunteers already in our community and to new experts with volunteer potential from the private sector. We will advise NGOs on how to engage professional volunteers more effectively. We are developing Good Deed Foundation''s internal processes for managing volunteers, implementing volunteer management software and creating a new website for Good Deed Foundation. It helps to better highlight volunteerism and is integrated with the volunteer management software. On our webpage, we will publish topics on which the initiatives currently need the support of experts, and volunteers can sign up for specific challenges. The software helps to gather information and keep track of the hours invested and the challenges that have been solved. As a result of the project, we will have created a comprehensive system that contributes to increase the capacity of non-governmental organizations through the smart and quick recruitment of professional volunteers. The number and working hours of (permanent) volunteers found thanks to the Good Deed Foundation will increase every year.
