  10. Volunteer Recruiting Approach • Recruiting Volunteers It will decrease expenses and will allow people to contribute to the organization. This strategy should target college students. Many of the students have free time and have desire to obtain experience or could use internship that can be useful for their future career. Local Paper ads and college radio announcements will help to get a word out in community colleges and 4-year colleges. Social work and public administration departments should display ads so all of their students have the opportunity to help.

This campaign will target churches in the community during Christmas holiday. All the people attending the church will receive fliers at the door on Sunday before the service. It is great opportunity to increase contributions and find sponsors for children. Fundraising by organizing dinner • Annual Banquet event for affluent people in the local society. Information about this event can be displayed in local newspapers, magazines, direct mail and Board adds in country clubs. It should target wealthier people in the local community that are willing to pay $100 or more per plate increase contributions to the organization. Local Bank Campaign • Every new customer is told about the opportunity in helping children in the local communities can contribute $5 by opening new account.
