Part I II Affiliate Membership Dues

Page 12: HandsOn Network

Programs Internal to Another Entity

For programs internal to a larger entity, your program financial statement will be multiplied by an indirect cost rate of 10% to generate a figure more comparable with independent organization revenue on which your dues will be based. This will allow programs and organizations to be assessed in a more equitable manner, since both types of entities are assessed using the same dues matrix.

For example: HandsOn Internal Program reports an annual budget of $10,000. To calculate the figure at which dues would be assessed, HandsOn Internal Program would multiply $10,000 by 10% to equal $1000.

HandsOn Internal Program’s dues would be assessed at $11,000, so at the “Mobilization” affiliate category, this affiliate’s dues would come to $250 for the 2008-2009 FY.

If you feel a 10% indirect cost rate inaccurately represents your situation, you may propose an alternative indirect cost rate utilizing federal guidelines during the annual renewal period (August 1 – September 1).

When will I be expected to meet requirements, and how will that be assessed?

The first opportunity to assess performance according to the revised requirements for membership will occur after the completion of the Annual Affiliate Report for the 2009 calendar year (Jan 2010).  Whether requirements have been met will be assessed based on data from the Affiliate Annual Report at that time. If an Affiliate is found to not be in compliance with one or more requirements for its category of membership, Affiliate Advancement staff will recommend steps the affiliate can take to come into compliance with that category of membership.

If progress toward those recommended steps is not made by August 1, a recommendation to adjust the category of membership will be made. Additionally, Affiliates can choose to select a different category for membership at each annual renewal period (August 1 – September 1).

Proposals to shift category of membership will be accepted August 1 – September 1 annually.

This revised membership structure will be static for the current fiscal year. Based on feedback from 2009 and 2010, a full review of the membership structure will be done for Fiscal Year 2011.

Page 14: HandsOn Network

Addendum 2: General Information on Affiliate Benefits

Note: A complete guide to accessing benefits is available at our Affiliate Member Center under the “files” section. See addendum 6 for a list of current opportunities available to Affiliates

What does Protected Market mean?

In the interest of promoting affiliate sustainability and local collaboration in general, HandsOn Network will not approve applications from new Affiliates in a community already served by a HandsOn Network Affiliate in good standing. Membership inquiries approaching HandsOn Network for affiliation of a new organization that lies within an Affiliate’s service area will be shared with affected Affiliates. Due to the size and ongoing local re-evaluation of some service areas, we will consult with the existing Affiliate in the area to determine if the request to affiliate by a new organization should be considered.

How can I access training resources, such as toolkits, best practice documents and webinars?

Upon approval of your membership application and receipt of your Affiliate Membership Dues, you will be provided with a login to the Affiliate Member Center, where you can access these documents and other information about upcoming Affiliate opportunities and trainings.

What is Leadership Faculty?

Leadership Faculty is a cadre of Affiliate leaders that have expertise to offer other Affiliates and membership partners through contracts for training or technical assistance. The process for enlisting expertise in Leadership Faculty and engaging support from Leadership Faculty will be more fully developed to incorporate the significant investment of resources from the Corporation for National and Community Service through a cooperative agreement with HandsOn Network.

We look forward to engaging Affiliate leaders to co-lead an expanded portfolio of knowledge-sharing forums and initiatives, including webinars (scheduled online training sessions delivered by live trainers including peer-led sessions) and e-courses. These educational opportunities will highlight effective practices in volunteer management, volunteer retention, and recruitment of volunteers to more effectively engage their leadership and professional skills. In addition, leadership faculty may be mobilized for more focused, on-site peer-to-peer technical assistance.

What is a Peer Exchange?

A Peer Exchange is an opportunity for Affiliates to visit another affiliate to share effective practices around a specified program or other capacity-building objective. Stipends to defray the costs associated with a Peer Exchange, advice on options for a Peer Exchange based on affiliate learning objectives and coordination support will be available through affiliate advancement. The process (a simple application) for accessing this benefit will be available December 4. These

HandsOn Network 2009 Affiliate Membership Application 14/23

Page 15: HandsOn Network

opportunities have associated requirements for dissemination of replicable knowledge gained with other Affiliates and for the “public domain.”

How can I get connected with local project management opportunities for HandsOn Network corporate partners?

If HandsOn Network is approached by a corporate partner seeking support for a project in your area, your Affiliate will be contacted to determine your interest in pursuing the opportunity. Alternatively, if a corporate partner you work with wishes to connect with other Affiliates for multiple-market project management support, please let us know. Contact the Regional Vice President serving your area for more information.

What learning opportunities can I access?

Webinars and other learning opportunities currently available to affiliates are posted in the weekly Affiliate Newsletter Learning opportunities correlating to membership will be available on an ongoing basis throughout the fiscal year. We will continue to survey the Affiliate community to ensure we are providing opportunities most relevant to your needs.

Regarding the benefit National Service Members, does the Affiliate or HandsOn Network fund the match requirement?

The Affiliate funds the match requirement and members are available on an annual basis. The National Service calendar of opportunities does not align with membership renewal. More information about National Service members can be found in the weekly Affiliate Newsletter.

HandsOn Network 2009 Affiliate Membership Application 15/23

Page 16: HandsOn Network

Addendum 3: General Information on Affiliate Requirements

What are the parameters around “create or collaborate” satisfying requirements related to Signature Events? Create: Affiliate is in a leading coordination role presenting the event

Collaborate: Affiliate is in partnership with another organization(s) leading the coordination of the event. Affiliate provides some form of additional expertise around volunteer engagement/training/coordination or other resource support toward the successful execution of the event.

What are the parameters around the requirement related to Technology (“Maintain online presence that facilitates engaging volunteers in meaningful opportunities to serve”)?

Both 1-800 Volunteer and Hands On Tech (HOT) satisfy this requirement. If the Affiliate is not using a HandsOn Network-supported technology product, the Affiliate must offer basic information about how to get involved in volunteering online, and have some ability (online or off-line) to quantify impact through tracking volunteer activity.

Are membership dues separate from fees paid for technology products like 1800Volunteer.org or Hands On Tech?

Yes, however in order to access benefits and remain a member in good standing, you must be current on all dues or fees owed to HandsOn Network

What data will be requested from my affiliate for the Affiliate Annual Report?

Please refer to the following links to view a Reporting Guidance presentation, and the 2008 Affiliate Annual Report Question List. Questions or other input to this process may be addressed to evaluation staff at [email protected].

A 2009 Reporting Guidance document will be provided to Affiliates by January of 2010.

What are the requirements related to Branding?

All Affiliates must communicate standard language designating affiliation with HandsOn Network in publicly-available materials, regardless of membership category, as follows:

An Affiliate of HandsOn Network

An Affiliate logo including this language can be found on our Affiliate Member Center and is the preferred way to communicate affiliation with HandsOn Network (Affiliate Tagline.EPS).

The designators for membership category, “Engagement Affiliate; Mobilization Affiliate; Transformation Affiliate,” are HandsOn Network-internally-used terms delineating your category of membership and are not required to be publicized externally.

Options for full alignment with HandsOn Network branding are offered to all Affiliates. A full branding toolkit with additional specifications for logo placement and options for alignment with HandsOn Network is available online at http://www.bigtent.com/usr/files/17802644_2_00_HandsOn_Affiliate_Brand_Guidelines_Dec_2008.pdf

Tell me more about requirements relating to the Strategic Impact Areas.

Organizationally, HandsOn Network has adopted 3 Strategic Impact Areas. These are issue based areas where we hope to leverage affiliate assets/programs/projects, national programs (such as Days of Service and HandsOn Corps), national cause-marketing efforts and funds to drive community based change on key social sector problems. Focus on these issues will be driven by our Get HandsOn framework. Get Hands On will be both an organization strategic planning framework and a direct to citizen campaign that will capitalize on our core organizational assets—the ability to plan and execute projects, the ability to activate leaders and the ability to deliver high quality volunteer training tools that can drive impact. We believe these inputs will transform the volunteer delivery system by creating service infrastructure and a trained civic talent pool to continue innovation beyond the sunset of the campaign.

As members it is critical to understand the resources/expertise you bring to this effort……

Engagement $1,500 $1,000 $500 $250 $125 $50

When might the dues change?

The dues schedule above is in effect for fiscal year 2009/2010 (HandsOn Network’s fiscal year begins October 1). Any adjustments in the dues schedule will be provided six months in advance of changes taking effect. It is our goal that over the next five years, dues revenue to HandsOn Network will equal one percent (1%) of collective Affiliate budgets.

How are my dues assessed?

The dues an Affiliate pays are based on the most recently-completed annual financials from the Affiliate organization or program, as well as the category of membership you select. The dues amounts increase according to budget size and category of membership, with Affiliates in categories of highest alignment with HandsOn Network strategy paying a higher rate of dues to correlate with greater benefits derived from membership.

As you opt in to a category of Affiliate membership, you will be asked to submit the most recently completed annual financial statement from your organization or program, on which your dues assessment will be based.

For programs internal to a larger entity, your program financial statement will be multiplied by an indirect cost rate of 10% to generate a figure more comparable with independent organization revenue on which your dues will be based. This will allow programs and organizations to be assessed in a more equitable manner, since both types of entities are assessed using the same dues matrix.

HandsOn Network 2009 Affiliate Membership Application 20/23

For example: HandsOn Internal Program reports an annual budget of $10,000. To calculate the figure at which dues would be assessed, HandsOn Internal Program would multiply $10,000 by 10% to equal $1000.

HandsOn Internal Program’s dues would be assessed at $11,000, so at the “Mobilization” affiliate category, this affiliate’s dues would come to $250 for the 2009-2010 FY.

If you feel a 10% indirect cost rate inaccurately represents your situation, you may propose an alternative indirect cost rate utilizing federal guidelines during the annual renewal period (August 1 – September 1).
