Often not for profit organisations have a need for community and corporate support of all kinds, not just monetary, but often by donating time and skills to help them grow. It would be terrific to have a data base of community members and corporate organisations who would like to be involved with not for profit organisations and on that data base to say how they could contribute. Particularly of interest would be some intergenerational links which help young people to learn and tap into the skills of older people. Or for those corporations who might like to adopt an organistion to assist.

I think there are a range of government data bases, I am sure department of communities, education etc have lists of NGO's and other organisations who need support. Likewise I think within the business and public sector partnership arms there would be data bases. Actually, every arm of government would have a data base that may be linked. When Julie talk about an umbrella data base she is right. There must also be a way that government can encourage business to participate in some way with community and NGO areas that are not just financial...my thought was find a local business or organisation and have them adopt the NGO or community group and maybe participate in activities or allow volunteer staff hours rather than just money. Victoria is really good at this type of philanthropic activity, but it is not being done here. It has huge potential to get organisations and government working together to better communities and NGO's. I can se many uses for it......retirement villages working with disadvantaged you, or a small school....so much potential!
