A Volunteer Organization providing free service to community

We already have in existence an volunteer non-profit organization that provides emergency roadside assistance to our community. We are looking to expand our organization to cover a number of other community based volunteer assistance. The community has benefitted tremendously so we want to expand.

Idea Description

The organization that we currently have in place is called "Chaverim" (hebrew)which means "Friends". Our organization provides emergency volunteer roadside assistance. Being that we have gotten very positive feedback from the community, we are looking to expand and take on new responsibilities including a search and rescue team, basic daily assistance to elderly, health and safety seminars for the community, civilian patrol, and an outreach and recruiting division. We feel that because we already have a good reputation, the expansion will be positive. These extras will be under a separate corporation which will be a subdivision of Chaverim. Our goal is to continue to serve our community.

What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?

Being that we are all volunteers with very little overhead, all the money we receive will go to providing the necessary equipment and training to our volunteers. A small fund will be created to advertise our services and for recruitment purposes. We are also in the midst of building a website and this money will go for development as well. We look at this donation as an investment so that we can present ourselves accurately, thereby continue to receive funding from others. With continued funding the subdivisions that we look to create will happen with ease. Our goal and commitment is to provide volunteer services to our community on all levels. Any financial assistance will ease that process
