“Non-profits are really reluctant to attempt any
brave, daring, giant scale new fundraising
endeavours for fear that if the thing fails their
reputation will be dragged through the mud.
You and I know that when you prevent failure
you kill innovation, if you kill innovation and
fundraising you can’t raise more revenue, and
if you can’t raise more revenue you can’t grow
and if you can’t grow you can’t possibly solve
large social problems.” Dan Pallotta

Mobile Apps: Unlocking the
Potential of Volunteer Centres
Goal
Provide all members of the OVCN with access to
iNotForProfit’s proven mobile technology
To enable each OVCN member to increase their impact
and build capacity using this mobile technology
To increase youth engagement through this mobile
technology
To make this mobile technology accessible to ALL
Volunteer Centres, regardless of their financial capability
Approach
The OVCN has negotiated a social entrepreneurial
partnership model to allow all member Volunteer
Centre’s access at a deep discount
The OVCN will ‘subsidize’ the cost of each mobile app,
based on the financial means of the member Volunteer
Centre (small, medium, large)
iNotForProfit will donate this subsidy, as an in-kind
donation, to the OVCN
OVCN members will be able to have their own mobile app at a deep discount.
There will not be any adverse financial impact to the OVCN.
