Day of Caring is Changing

Day of Caring Is Changing

United Way Regina is

expanding our

Day of Caring

to a year long program.

We want to enhance the

Day of Caring

experience for both those

who are volunteering their

time and for the

community based

organizations involved. 

We hope to

better match the

capacities of both the

volunteering

organization and

their participants

and the

community based

organization

Our hope is to better engage and recognize all those involved.

Why the change?

We have been fragmented in our approach.

Everything stood by itself: Campaign, GenNext, Day of Caring, new community initiatives, volunteer opportunities.

Each in its own disconnected silo – separate – stand alone – cookie cutting approach

We are changing that.

Our objective is to be far more relationship centric with our major donors.

Offering a far more comprehensive

relationship that aligns with our donors

corporate social responsibility

policies; employee engagement

goals; and offering enriched

opportunities for recognition.

Changing Day of Caring is part of that.

Alignment Engagement Recognition

We want

Day of Caring

to be a

strategic asset for community

development – for

everyone involved.

Tammy Hicks is now the Day of Caring coordinator.

Tammy will be

DOC Central in coordinating projects and

opportunities.

We will be asking for

Expressions of Interest

submissions of possible

projects, outlining some of

the essentials

timeframes for the project

ie it can only happen in a certain

month or requires a finacial

support to proceed.

We will be proactive

in contacting partners

when we have an expression

of interest from a corporate partner we

believe might be a suitable

match in terms of alignment,

previous history of DOC and

other factors.

Thinking beyond . . .
