Managing volunteer data can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to! Just a few simple considerations, and you can keep everything more efficient. Swipe through to find 3 easy ways you can get organized and save time- so that you focus more on your mission and less on the admin. For example, we helped Bachpan Save The Innocence- an NGO advocating against child sexual abuse, set up volunteer data systems that simplified tracking and automated repetitive tasks. Our skilled volunteers Akshita Saxena and Sujay Patel, helped them use platforms like Airtable, where they could manage info, send reminders, capture attendance, etc., ultimately saving them hours and helping their volunteers feel more connected to them and their mission. If you’re looking to improve your processes too, reach out to us through the link in the comments. Our community of skilled volunteers is ready to help you get started!

In the impact space, who you know often matters as much as what you do. Networking isn’t just a “nice-to-have”, it can open doors, and help you make a bigger difference. It is more than just swapping business cards- it’s building relationships! Here’s Why Networking Matters for NGOs: >> Collaboration Opportunities: Ever met an org with a mission that complements yours? Partnerships and collaborations can help you pool resources, reach more people, and make a bigger impact together. >> Learn from Each Other: Hit a roadblock? Chances are, another nonprofit has been there, too. Networking connects you with other orgs who’ve tackled similar issues and can share what worked (and what didn’t). >> Build Community Trust: When you’re known in your community, people are more likely to trust and support your programs. And that credibility can directly translate to more volunteers, more funds, and more long-term supporters. Finding that space to connect with others in the impact sector can make all the difference. That’s why communities like our WeDoGood NGO Community exist- to make it easier for nonprofits to come together, share, and learn from one another. If you are looking for a collaborative space just like that, where you can learn alongside people who are as passionate about impact as you are, join the relevant channel links listed in the comments! #WeDoGood #NGO #NonProfit WeDoGood #Community #NGOCommunity

When nonprofits face big challenges, they’re often forced to choose between quick fixes for a more urgent resolve or investing in sustainable, long-term solutions. It’s a constant balancing act. But does it really have to be one or the other? >> Quick Fixes: Sometimes, a quick fix is exactly what you need to stay afloat. They’re quick to show results, tackle urgent needs, and make an impact right away. Think launching a targeted social media ad to address a donor engagement gap or setting up a basic tracking system to manage a sudden influx of volunteers. >> Sustainable Solutions: On the other hand, sustainable solutions are where long-term impact lives. They don’t just solve issues for now, they build solid foundations that can support your nonprofit’s mission over time. For instance, developing a consistent social media strategy calendar to build year-round awareness, or setting up CRM to manage stakeholder data for the longer run. >> Can’t You Have Both?? Why choose between quick and sustainable when you need both? We believe that nonprofits deserve access to support that’s responsive yet sustainable.? And that’s exactly why we came up with our FexiSupport Model. You get access to fractional experts- think of them as your nonprofit’s part-time, highly-skilled team members in areas like marketing, tech, HR, and more. They will give your org the flexibility to address immediate needs while building the groundwork for sustainable growth. It’s about providing the right expertise at the right time, for as long as it’s needed, without the commitment of full-time staff. If you are looking to explore how you can achieve this balance for your org, simply let us know through the link in the comments! WeDoGood #FlexiSupport #Impact #Growth #NGO #NonProfit

This Daan Utsav, we supported 20+ nonprofits with 50+ hours of free consultation. Throughout August and September, we got together with 20+ organizations to offer free Daan Utsav 1-1 consultations with our skilled volunteers.

These sessions were all about helping nonprofits make the most of the giving season and amplify their visibility and funds. We loved to see all of their plans taking shape and being put into action.

How can you make the most of Ai for your non-profit? Juggling a hundred tasks at your nonprofit makes adding AI to the mix feel like just another daunting to-do. But it’s all about working smarter, right? That’s why we’ve helped our NGO community make sense of it all! We hosted a series of sessions on how AI can fit into a social impact org’s work: > ABCs of AI for Nonprofits - A simple breakdown of the basics. A session where our community learnt how AI can actually help their org. >AI Tools for Marketing & Content Writing- Where we shared tools that can make marketing and writing tasks much simpler. > Advanced AI- Where we explored advanced tools that can simplify communication and help you manage data more easily. We’ve put together a YouTube playlist with all these sessions so you can check them out for free anytime. You can access it via the link in the comments.

When you think of the social sector, competition would not probably be the first word that comes to your mind. After all, the end goal is creating tangible impact. But somehow, competition has naturally found its way into this space- for visibility, funds, or the “next big solution”. But here’s the question: is there a need to compete when we’re all trying to solve the same problems? If you take a look around, you’ll see that the challenges faced by one community aren’t all that different from those faced by another. Equality, education, healthcare- these are universal issues in the country. Is there really a need for competition, when there is so much to gain from collective impact? Here’s why and how: > Why Do It Alone? NGOs and impact orgs are often solving the same problems in different areas. Why do it alone when you can learn from others? Whether it’s sharing community challenges, and experiences or coming together to better advocate for a cause, collective impact can go a long way! > Impact multiplies- not divides There’s this idea that if one organization is getting funding, there’s less left for everyone else. But that’s not how it is! When one org does better, the entire sector benefits because the overall impact grows. In fact, collaboration often attracts more funding because donors love to see efforts that maximize impact! > Copy-Pasting Can Be Smart Ever seen a nonprofit’s project and thought you should do it too? It’s not about being unoriginal; it’s about being effective. If something works, adapt it, replicate it, and customize it for your community. There’s no need for reinvention every single time. That’s exactly what we believe in at WeDoGood. Many solutions can be adapted to suit different needs. You don’t always have to start from scratch, sometimes, the answer is just a tweak away. We’ve seen this in action through projects we do with our skilled volunteers. Whether it's developing outreach strategies, or creating data systems that work, we help you get solutions that truly fit your org’s context. And we’ve got a team of experienced volunteers ready to help you with just that. So, if you’re looking to scale your impact and explore how we can customize common solutions for your cause, reach out to us!
