Activity Form

We’re here
to champion
volunteering.

Activity Form

The Activity Form is to log VT-hosted and non-VT hosted events and activities, such as sitting on a Food Security Committee or attending a TASCOSS forum. This is particularly relevant to the Peak Body, HACC/CHSP and VMA funding contracts. Where multiple VT staff have attended, please ensure only one form is entered.

For events hosted by VT with multiple organisations in attendance, please enter all attendees. This will ensure the activity is logged against each organisation’s account in the CRM.

Rules

The most important things to remember whenever inputting data into the CRM is always consider its purpose, and always follow the naming conventions.

Critically, each interaction or activity is required to be linked to one or more funding instruments. If this is not accurate the VT reporting to funding bodies and stakeholders will be incomplete and/or incorrect.

Scenario

Use Title Case Capitalisation for names. Migrant resource centre Migrant Resource Centre
Do not use the ampersand symbol. Type the word “and” instead. Smith, Jones & Cork Smith, Jones and Cork
Only use acronyms if they are commonly used in public by the organisation and only use them in brackets beside the full organisational name. COTA Council on the Aging (COTA)
Do not use full stops between initials. D.H.H.S. DHHS
Use the abbreviation for Incorporated organisations with a full stop Incorporated / Inc / Incorp. Inc.
There should never be multiple records or ‘duplication’ for accounts or contacts. John Doe
