Useful Information

What is charitable status?              Should we incorporate?              Do we need a professional fundraiser?           Where did our membership go?           What about strategic planning?           Is volunteer role design necessary?           I don’t understand financial statements. Help!

Looking for answers? 

By using the subject categories on the left, you will quickly find answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about the voluntary sector, as well as how-to advice and practical step-by-step guides on a variety of voluntary sector topics.



TransCanada.comThanks to funding from TransCanada Pipelines,
we have been able to transform our former FAQ page into this new “useful information” destination on our website. This funding has also allowed us to acquire many new articles to assist you in your day-to-day search for information. Browse through Agency Management to find material on partnerships and strategic planning in the voluntary sector. Or, check out Fund Development for advice on when to hire a professional fundraiser, and Volunteer Management for information on volunteer policy, role design, recruitment and recognition.
 


The Board Development Program (BDP), part of Alberta Tourism, Parks, Recreation and Culture, has granted RCVO permission to include their Board Development information bulletins in this "useful information" section. If you're considering becoming a board member, looking for information on the financial responsibilities of not-for-profit boards, or wondering how to evaluate your executive director's performance, browse the Board Development section for helpful advice.
