Most donated help is a bit inconvenient for the people receiving it.
Well-meaning help that nobody asked for costs staff time to manage. One question fixes that entirely.
Ask: what do you need this month that you are struggling to get. Then provide that, even if it is boring.
Boring is usually the answer. Fuel cards, printer paper, a reliable driver, someone to answer the phone.
How to actually do it
- 01Pick one organisation and ask the question directly.
- 02Accept the unglamorous answer.
- 03Deliver it within the month.
You already know if this is the one. Go put a date on it.
