Your skills are what NPOs need!
John Watson
“Who’s that tall guy who connects people, talks on a podcast and hits a golf ball a mile?” That’s me ??
Your unique skills and connections could be exactly what an NPO needs to grow.
Yes, we’re talking about more than just once off or regular monetary donations.
If you give your time and skills to NPO leaders and administrators and work on problem solving, structuring and encouragement, it can really help them grow their reach and improve their service offering.
It’s also a great way to meet new people and give selflessly to a worthy cause.
This week Rudolf Rautenbach and John Watson discuss the importance of adding social value and helping the over 247,000 NPO’s in South Africa.
Some other key takeaways from this episode were:
"If you have an abundance mindset, then you are in a better position already to give value."
If you think you have little to offer, you’re wrong! We all have a lot to offer besides money – think time, skills, connections and encouragement too.
"Consistent giving is the best giving for an NPO to receive."
Yes, you can jump in with once off donations, but consistent giving is where sustainable NPOs are born and deeper relationships can be formed.
"Supporting NPO’s is a great way to network!"
Good companies support NPO’s all over the country and what better way to connect with good people at these good companies than to also support NPO’s with your time and skills.
