Hi Sue,
First off apologies for the delayed response to your question. We did
not have a confirmed approach for handling donated credits until very
recently, hence the delay.
If you would like to offer credits without a specific person in mind,
again please write in to the Volunteer Coordinator with the specified
amount. We will keep record of such offers, and if/when it comes to our
attention that there is a member or a potential member who could truly
benefit from the assistance, we will then contact you to request
permission for the transfer and then authorize it accordingly.
All good things,
Pavi

Pavi,
What if we have credits to donate but do not know of a specific member
who needs them? Will Bookshare find a member? Or is this not
permmitted? I wrote to you privately about this but you did not answer
me.
Sue S.

Hi Susan -
Thanks for bringing these questions up. I'm glad to be able to address
them here on the list.
Volunteers of Bookshare with earned credits are eligible to donate their
credits. At this time, Bookshare will handle credit donations manually,
on a case by case basis. A volunteer wishing to donate his/her credits
to a Bookshare member or would-be member, may send an email to the
Volunteer Coordinator, with the amount they wish to donate, the name of
the person/s they wish to donate to, and their reason for wanting to
make the donation. These donation requests upon approval will then be
carried out by the membership division, and a notification will be sent
by the Volunteer Coordinator to the contributing volunteer.
As time goes on we will modify the process and/or implement any
additional measures or conditions necessary to ensure that the system of
donating credits remains feasible for the organization. We are glad to
be able to support this kind of generosity among our volunteer community
and are, as always, grateful for the work you do, and the dedication
with which you do it.
All good things,
Pavi
