Shared tools for local non-profits
One place to post needs, find volunteers and report results to funders.
Idea for assessment, not an approved project

The problem
What residents describe today.
Local non-profits each keep their own lists, volunteer sign-ups and funder reports, often on spreadsheets.
Residents who want to help do not always know where help is needed.
Evidence
The problem comes from non-profits that keep separate lists and reports. It has not been measured yet.
The idea
An approach to assess.
- One shared place where non-profits post needs and events.
- Volunteer sign-up and scheduling in one step.
- Simple reports to funders, built from the work already recorded.
- Each organization keeps its own data.
Before anything happens
What this idea still needs.
- Tarrabin Consulting's role
- Tarrabin Consulting wrote this idea and can advise on it. We do not run these services and we hold no approval to build them. Any decision belongs to the people and organizations responsible.
- Decisions needed
- Whether non-profits want a shared tool, who would host it, and the rule that each organization keeps its own data.
- Next step to test it
- Ask a small group of local non-profits how they handle volunteers and funder reports today.
- Communities
- Where an idea touches First Nations or Métis communities, those communities decide. Nothing goes ahead without their written mandate, and the Crown's duty to consult stays with the Crown.
