咁多個香港義工配對平台之中，你有冇聽過Time Auction 呢？以下係關於Time Auction 嘅常見問題，俾你可以一分鐘內了解Time Auction 係咩嚟： （一）Time Auction係咩嚟？ Time Auction 係一個香港義工配對平台，中文譯名係「時間拍賣」，顧名思義，義工喺平台上面參加義工活動後，可以用自己嘅義工時數（Volunteer hour）兌換獎勵。 （二）Time Auction同一般義工配對平台有咩分別？ Time Auction 平台上面嘅義工服務以技能義工（Skilled-volunteers）服務為主。技能義工會運用個人技能同專長，為非牟利組織（NGO）提供專業嘅義工服務。呢類義工服務好多都可以遠程（Remote working）完成，義工可以靈活安排自己嘅工作時間同工作地點，換取義工時數。 （三）賺義工時數有啲咩好處？ 喺Time Auction上面，累積一定義工時數後可以兌換不同種類嘅獎賞。義工可以選擇同社會各界嘅專業人士會面或飯聚，交流工作經驗同人生價值，從佢地身上學習成功嘅秘訣；Time Auction亦會定期更新唔同嘅文化或健康相關嘅體驗活動，義工可以參加自己感興趣嘅活動，增值自己。 以往Time Auction曾邀請前財政司司長曾俊華、歌手鄭秀文等社會名人出席義工聚餐；亦曾經舉辦過抽獎，俾義工用義工時數抽韓國人氣女團Blackpink嘅演唱會飛，獎賞種類非常多元。 【探索獎賞】 （四）點解會成立Time Auction？ Time Auction 喺2014年成立，2017年註冊成為慈善機構。創辦人發現香港人做義工嘅比例低於其他國際城市，於是萌生用義工時數換獎賞嘅諗法，希望鼓勵更多香港市民用空餘時間做義工，令NGO得到自己需要嘅技能支援嘅同時，義工又可以兌換自己想要嘅活動獎勵，達致雙嬴局面。 （五）Time Auction上面有咩義工活動？ Time Auction 上面70%嘅義工專案係線上或遙距可以完成。義工種類涵蓋辦公室技能支援（如平面設計、文案寫作）、現場活動技能支援（如活動攝影、活動協調員）、專業建議和諮詢（如商業諮詢、法律意見諮詢）等。 （六）點樣搵義工服務？ 喺Time Auction平台上，義工可以選擇服務範疇、擅長技能、服務所需時數等篩選條件，搜尋到最符合專長嘅義工服務。 如果唔想自己搜尋咁麻煩，Time Auction 定期有電郵（Email）通知義工最新嘅義工招募項目，義工可以根據分類一次過瀏覽同自己專業技能（Professions）相關嘅項目。義工亦可以瀏覽Time Auction 嘅Instagram同LinkedIn帳戶了解每星期精選嘅義工招募項目。 【探索義工機會】 （七）點樣註冊成為Time Auction 義工？ Time Auction嘅義工註冊步驟非常簡單，新用戶只要喺Time Auction 網頁用Facebook、LinkedIn或電郵地址就可以註冊，註冊後即時可以喺每星期100+項義工服務中搵最啱你心水嘅服務去申請！ 【立即申請】

非牟利機構的挑戰 — 尋找捐助機構的困難 71% 的非牟利機構表示尋找對其感興趣的捐助者是很困難的。* 為何籌款這麼困難? 其一因為香港沒有一個基金和撥款機構的中央名冊。 66%的非牟利機構認為香港的籌款環境相當不透明，令籌款成巨大挑戰，因為76%的非牟利機構指開拓新資金來源對它們十分重要。 解決方案 — 香港首個捐助機構資源庫 Time Auction是一個義工人才網絡，我們遂在網站張貼籌款研究員項目，招募一批義工就香港的捐助者進行研究，以協助非牟利機構更有效率地發掘潛在捐助者。 短短兩星期內，我們成功招募了21名義工展開研究，每人先選定一個慈善領域(例如動物權益、環保等)，然後搜尋20個非牟利機構在公開網站的浩繁資料，包括網頁、年報、審計報告、活動刊物、鳴謝聲明等，從中找出它們過往捐助者的資料，輸入一個共享的Google試算表內。 日間這些義工的身份是學生、老師、公務員、投資銀行家、財務分析師、公關或其他，夜間他們全搖身一變成為「鍵盤戰士」，伏在電腦前進行偵探式工作，找出香港活躍的慈善家。他們建立了通訊群組，不時對話，以分享工作遇到的困難和解決心得，有時候更配合視像會議。隨着時間推移，眾人的群策群力漸見成果，一個龐大「有份量」的Google試算表出現了。 為確保資料準確無誤，我們另招募了10位義工，以覆查資料。一個前商業顧問接手統籌工作，另一程式開發員則就如何利用「無程式碼工具」快速建立網頁提供意見，一個市場推廣經理和一名公關亦加入，就推展項目的策略和執行提供協助。 經過一班義工620小時的工作，捐助機構資源庫終於誕生了! Donorperdia是香港首個眾包的捐助者資源庫，讓你一站式瀏覽超過540個非牟利機構和社會企業可申請的慈善捐助機構、低調的家族基金、政府撥款及其他資金來源! 「希望我們小小的努力可以幫助您對我們的社區產生更強大的影響！」義工 Debbie Wong 說 。 85%的非牟利機構指一份機構資源庫，對其籌款工作很有用，這凸顯義務工作的影響力 — 透過匯聚一批有心人，我們從零開始建立了一份非牟利機構急需的中央捐助者名冊。 現在就瀏覽Donorpedia，一起發掘潛在捐助者! 您只需付出4杯咖啡的價錢，就可享受一批義工620小時研究的成果，將節省的時間聚焦放在其他籌款工作上。所有收益均撥作維護此網站、更新名冊，或未來協助非牟利機構及社企籌款的工作。 歡迎您的投入 由於Donorpedia是一項全由義工推動的項目，如果您認識一些香港的活躍捐助機構，不妨告訴我們! 如果你是一名捐助者，想尋找可靠的夥伴，以達成你的慈善志業，請聯絡我們，我們會為你連結一個朝氣勃勃、致力令香港更美好的的非牟利機構社群! 聯絡我們﹕ [email protected] *數據來自於2021 年 7 月與 118 家非牟利機構和社企進行的調查。
