Video Training Modules: Now Available!
In November 2009, Iowa Dollars for Scholars hosted a training session for volunteers in the Des Moines area. The training was presented by Stacy Rungaitis, COO of the Des Moines-based Charitable Giving Resource Center, which provides strategic advice and services to help philanthropic organizations and individuals achieve their goals.
Dollars for Scholars is pleased to be able to offer all of our volunteers video modules of the sessions, so that volunteers across Iowa and the nation can benefit from this expert view on everything from volunteer recruitment to donor acknowledgement.
