Enthusiastic Potential Members

Though almost everyone would like to donate time to volunteerism, other commitments often prevent them from doing so. The likelihood of someone wanting to assist a nonprofit depends greatly upon what is required of him or her in comparison to what sort of personal benefit he or she may derive by association. Finding willing individuals can be a considerable challenge, but a clear and inspiring mission can often motivate people to volunteer their time. Those who have a stake in the success of an NPO’s mission are those most likely to make time because it is personally important to them.
