SUMMER SERIES! (2/4) - Best Practices in Onboarding Fundraising Volunteers

The Ask

In this special four-part Summer Series of KCI’s podcast The Ask we share snippets from some of our favourite recent conversations that we weren’t able to include in an episode. Some quick, easy listening for those long summer days where we might have better things to do than listen to full-length podcasts about fundraising. Enjoy!

In this episode, we revisit the topic of how best to work with fundraising volunteers, specifically focusing on onboarding best practices. This conversation was recorded at AHP’s annual Convene Canada conference when The Ask Host Nicole Nakoneshny moderated a panel discussion on the topic of volunteers with senior leadership from two of Canada’s foremost hospital foundations – Toronto General and Western Hospital Foundation and The William Osler Health System Foundation. You’ll hear that ensuring clarity of purpose, tapping into and regularly reconnecting volunteers to their passions, and creating activities that build camaraderie and relationships are key…as is recognizing that onboarding is not an event, but rather a process executed over a period of time.
