At Windsor Local, we want to make it as easy as possible to give back to our community. These are the working parts of it.
This will describe how our Giving Back process works, and will help with the menu items below.
These are posts from nonprofit and/or charitable organizations who are Members of Windsor Local and are requesting help. It provides an overview of the organization's needs, who they are, who they help, an application (optional) and any other information they would like to add, including how they wish to be contacted. The public can then search and view these posts to see who they would like to help based on the information given and contact them. Windsor Local is hoping this is a much easier way for most of the public to find and match themselves with a local organization they would like to give back to.
Anyone who is a referral for a local resident or family in need of help can fill out a request form. The request will be logged and Windsor Local will do its very best to find a Member who would like to fulfill this request. Windsor Local is hoping this is a much easier way for Windsor Local Business Community Members to find and match themselves with a local person/family they would like to give back to. (If you are not a Windsor Local Member, see the next item).
This is for anyone who is not a Member of Windsor Local and wants to help fulfill 'Pay It Forward Requests' that have not yet been assigned to anyone.
