Donate a skill, not just money

The thing you do all day is the thing a small organisation cannot afford.

Accounts, photography, a website, a contract read-through, a van and a Saturday. Every charity has a gap exactly your shape.

Offer specifically. 'Let me know if I can help' produces nothing; 'I can rebuild your booking page in a weekend' produces a yes.

Set a boundary on the scope up front so it stays a gift rather than an unpaid job.

How to actually do it

  1. 01Name the skill and the scope you can give.
  2. 02Offer it specifically to one organisation.
  3. 03Agree an end point before you start.

You already know if this is the one. Go put a date on it.
