Volunteer

Edit videos for use on our website and social media. This can be an ongoing volunteer opportunity or you can volunteer occasionally on specific projects. When projects come up, it could be 1-3 hours of volunteer time.

Inventory new grant prospects. Join our Monday 12:30pm (EST) Grant Committee or email paige@thepeople.org. We will send you a spreadsheet with the foundations we need to research and you can fill out the research sheet at your pace. We are looking for you to tell us if the foundation is a good fit for us as an organization, if we should move forward with the application, and how we apply.

The Website Review project helps us uphold a level of quality control for our Website. Volunteers will be asked to repeatedly check in and test our website, look for errors or redundancies, and maintain a stream of feedback on the state of our website. This project can be done in as little as 1 hour per week and an unlimited maximum of hours per week.

Write hand-written Thank You notes to donors and volunteers. We provide you with a template to copy and the name and address of the donor. Usually 3-6 thank you notes per month. If you are able to provide inexpensive thank you cards and postage as a donation, that's great! If not, we can mail you a supply. You will be asked to sign an NDA due to the private information that you will have access to.
