Koodonation

KoodonationTM
What is Koodonation?
An Online Hub Canada’s first, entirely online
microvolunteering community.
Supports the work of not-for-profit organizations.
Encourages community engagement.
Provides an alternative way to volunteer, perfect for the online generation.
What is Microvolunteering?
Network-managed A non-profit staffer posts tasks (online challenges) to the site. And as microvolunteers post all of their ideas and responses, the community provides added value in rating the responses and helping non-profits decide which solutions are best.
Bite-sized Tasks from the non-profits are broken into small-ish pieces, so they’re quick and easy to solve for the microvolunteer, yet helpful for the non-profit.
Convenient It’s online volunteerism that fits into the individual’s schedule. And it’s all done online so individuals can also volunteer from anywhere – even their couch!
Crowdsourced Anyone and everyone across the country can help.
Some Examples.
The Launch of Microvolunteering. Microvolunteering was pioneered by The Extraordinaries. They launched Sparked.com in July of 2008.
TedxNASA – Ben Rigby – Microvolunteering – Giving Back for Busy People
(Crowdsourcing + Volunteering) * Online
Innovative combination allowing busy people to give back. =
How it works.
Individuals join Koodonation as microvolunteers.
Not-for-profit org. register to Koodonation as non-profits .
The non-profits post challenges. Microvolunteers then contribute to the challenges that
correspond to their skills and interests.
What makes a good challenge?
… not-for-profit organizations?
- A low-maintenance way to get work done by a huge pool of talented volunteers; - A unique opportunity to save money by getting work done for free.
- A way to raise awareness of your cause with many new supporters.
- Convenient and simple to use.
What’s in it for…
… for volunteers? - Makes it easy for busy people to fit volunteerism into their schedule.
- Is an entirely online form of volunteering that allows volunteers to lend their skills whenever and wherever they have time.
- Makes volunteering simple with no requirements for travel.
- Offers volunteers a way to contribute in areas that are of most interest to them.

Getting started
Getting started.
Step 1
Create an account. Step 2
Post a challenge. Step 3
Collect your results.
99
How it works
Once a challenge is up, the community takes over and posts answers to help solve the challenge.
Microvolunteers are free to respond to any challenge that interests them and matches their skills.
And they can do it any time, anywhere.
The responses are posted on the wall of each challenge for all to see and collaborate on.
Anyone who feels a microvolunteer gave a really good answer can give that person a ‘Thumbs up’!
It’s a two-way conversation. BTW, microvolunteers love getting feedback from the non-profits who post the challenges.
And once a challenge closes, don’t forget to thank your microvolunteers!

Benefits & Challenges
105
Things to keep in mind: • Crowdfunding success comes quickest to organizaKons that are social –
media-‐aware and engaged. If your organizaKon is not yet social media-‐enabled, it will take Kme and human and financial resources to do so.
• Because your efforts are only as good as the crowd you are able to mobilize to your cause, it makes sense that your organizaKon strategically manages and promotes its brand online.
• Make sure your target audience is online and will give online • If you opt to post your projects on established crowdfunding sites, do your
homework – be careful of the company you keep.
