About Us
Volunteers and donors want to know their impact
Foundation: Community Foundation of Greater Birmingham
Robert Egger of DC Central Kitchen recently published a Volunteer Bill of Rights that could easily also be a Bill of Rights for all supporters of nonprofits, including your Community Foundation.
You want to know and need to know what impact you are making in the community, whether through your volunteer time or your important gifts to transform our community.
While the Community Foundation of Greater Birmingham doesn't use volunteers in the same way Egger does, as front-line help in delivering important services directly to clients, we see his point about impact as the central element of all these rights. People will put up with hard work and less than ideal conditions if they know what they are doing really matters.
