4. Eventful! Volunteers- Unique Idea
Find a new source of volunteers that want to give
more, but are challenged to find the time
Go to where the people are
− Personal Endurance activities – running, biking,
triathlons
− Professional business activities such as conferences
− Bring people together in technology to help non-profits
(GiveCamp, Agile Learn-athons, etc)
5. Be A Self-Supporting Nonprofit
Don't take away from existing nonprofit donation
pool
Apply for-profit model of generating revenue
− Registrations – additional $/person to sign up for
endurance and conferences
− Companies - small charge per employee - $10 (tax
deductible) per year for Software-As-A-Service Count

3 activities to choose from

7. Specific Needs for Business
Need a partner who shares passion for
volunteerism and ability to help get this off the
ground
Need other people to help execute – web
application development, working with nonprofits
to arrange projects, working with race and
conference managers, and companies
