BonaServes: Making Volunteering Fun!

Volunteering can be great fun, but all too many people think it is not for them or that they are too busy to help. This might be because they have never done it, or because they do not know where to start. BonaServes aims to end this problem by creating a place to find where to volunteer around campus and around the town plus a place to find out more about volunteering both locally (St. Bonaventure University) and globally.

"CFOs can manage to volunteer their skills to charities alongside their day jobs. In some cases, the results can be career-altering.

One way for-profit CFOs can enter nonprofits is via non-executive directorships. Mark Freebairn, head of the CFO practice at search firm Odgers Ray & Berndtson in London, says there's a growing interest in not-forprofit directorships, particularly among CFOs who are reaching the end of their finance careers. For CFOs pondering such directorships, he counsels that there is the same need for due diligence at nonprofits as at for-profits. 'You should have a strong finance director, with a solid process in place to guarantee the integrity of the information you're receiving,' he says. 'And you need passion for the cause of the nonprofit.'"
