Beyond the Checkbook: 5 Meaningful Ways to Volunteer with The Pgm foundation
While financial contributions fuel our mission, time and talent are the engines that keep the PGM FOUNDATION moving forward. In an era where community support is needed more than ever, many supporters are asking: How can I help if I can't donate right now?
The answer? VOLUNTEER! Here are five high-impact ways you can get involved today.
1. Skills-Based Volunteering (Pro Bono)
Do you have a background in fundraising, social media operations, marketing, law, accounting, or graphic design? Your professional skills can save us thousands of dollars in operational costs.
Why it matters: It allows us to direct more funding straight to our mission programs: PGMF Education Scholarship Fund, Tx Student Agriculture and Livestock Project Fund and the annual Harvest Meal Drive.
How to start: Contact our team with your resume and availability or click here to submit a volunteer application.
2. Virtual Volunteering
You don't need to be on the ground to make a change. From your living room, you can help us by:
Managing community inquiries on social media.
Content Creation for our social media presence.
Fundraising is essential and very much needed.
Mentoring our scholarship/sponsorship recipients via video calls.
3. Organizing a Peer-to-Peer Fundraiser
Become an ambassador for the cause. By using your birthday, a marathon, or a special event to raise funds, you introduce the PGM FOUNDATION to a whole new network of supporters.
Tip: We provide a toolkit with images and templates to make this easy for you!
4. Advocacy and Awareness
Sometimes, the most powerful tool is your voice. Sharing our articles, re-posting our urgent alerts, and educating your family about our programs helps combat misinformation and builds momentum.
