D. Request Justification Summary of Request
ADVAS received $63,000.00 from the City of Airdrie in 2013. We are requesting $65,000.00 for 2014.This request will contribute to program sustainability and to our current level of service to victims of crime and tragedy. Because Solicitor General is covering most of the volunteer coordinator’s salary, ADVAS is requesting additional FCSS funds for volunteer training and recognition and reduced their request for salary.
If request is granted...
Volunteers provide direct input to improve service delivery and training. ADVAS provides recognition activities and events to honour the time and talent of the volunteers and staff. Training is one component of recognition as many skills provided through training are transferable to personal and working lives. Volunteers are connected and contributing to the community, take ownership of the ADVAS program and report personal fulfillment as a volunteer with the Society. Retention is achieved as a result of fulfillment.
If request is not granted...
The impact of no funding or reduced funding will result in a decrease of service delivery as volunteers will not have the support and training necessary to do their jobs.
