Questions

Before your team gets involved

Does support have to be financial?

No. Organisations can request professional skills, practical time, equipment or appropriate funding.

How much time should we offer?

Each request states its scope. Choose something your team can complete well without creating extra work for the organisation.

How is the work recorded?

The organisation describes the need, the business records concise proof, and both sides confirm completion.
