A discovery.
A contribution.
A community.

An encounter can become a discovery. A discovery can become a contribution. The outreach kit helps individuals, families and groups recognize what they carry and choose one practical way to serve. Each approved event connects a welcoming experience with an existing Convergence Q45 resource, workshop or service pathway.

Tabletop: one approved table, one upright mission sign, original reflection cards, a seated activity position and a written web address. Community booth: add a reusable backdrop, two conversation positions and a captioned demonstration display. Hosted group: arrange a welcome station, small activity tables, a facilitator and a clearly marked resource table. The organizer confirms the footprint, power, furnishings, accessibility and outdoor conditions before equipment is reserved.

Welcome for 30 seconds: “Convergence Q45 helps people explore their gifts and strengths and put them into meaningful service. Would you enjoy a short reflection?” Offer a two to five minute activity. Ask which next step would be useful: a resource, workshop information, a group brief or a question by email. Provide the readable destination beside any approved QR image. Close with “Thank you for sharing your contribution.”

Ask: What do people often ask you to help with? What part of that comes naturally? Whom could that contribution serve this week? Invite the visitor to write one action on a card they keep. A volunteer may offer a fictional example: “I enjoy organizing information. This week I can help a community group arrange its resource list.”

A caregiver guides each person to name one thing they enjoy contributing. Offer examples such as noticing who needs help, explaining an idea, making something beautiful or organizing materials. Choose a small shared service action, agree who contributes what and decide when to try it. Children keep their writing with their caregiver. Count family groups separately from individual participation.

Use a fictional community resource table. Ask the group to identify the task, expected result and three needed contributions. Assign a welcome host, a resource organizer and a clear communicator. Ask what support each person needs. End with a named action owner and review date. Discuss a real group task only when participants choose to do so.

Assign an event lead for venue decisions, a welcome host for invitations and visitor flow, an activity guide for reflection, a resource coordinator for approved links and materials, and a setup steward for equipment and safe placement. A small team may combine roles after reviewing coverage and rest. Rehearse the 30 second invitation, each activity, resource access and handoff. Establish break cover and a single escalation contact.

Four weeks before an event: confirm the host, purpose, audience, date, venue and current program authority. Three weeks before: obtain written vendor quotes, organizer specifications and a proposed budget. Two weeks before: confirm roles, artwork, resource destinations and accessible formats. One week before: rehearse activities, inspect equipment and verify every printed address and QR. The day before: pack by checklist, charge devices, save captioned demonstrations locally and confirm transport and arrival instructions.

Bring the approved mission sign and booth artwork; table cover; reflection and family cards; pens and clipboards; resource handouts; approved QR print with complete white border and written address; charged demonstration device; charging equipment; approved cable protection; transport cases; accessible print alternatives; volunteer instructions; event lead contact; aggregate tally sheet; receipts envelope; cleanup supplies; and organizer approved outdoor equipment when applicable. Check each packed item against the event inventory.

Walk the event space with the host. Keep the agreed circulation route clear, arrange a reachable activity surface and provide a seated option. Position signage within the allotted footprint. Test captions, volume, connectivity, links and the printed QR on two devices. Keep personal contact information out of view. Complete a team briefing, role handoff and opening equipment check. During delivery, offer participation choices, replenish resources and record anonymous aggregate counts.

The core exhibit kit supports repeated community encounters through reusable display materials and transport protection. An event delivery brief supports a named approved gathering through documented fees, printing, staffing and transport. An access brief supports readable materials, captions and participation options. A group learning brief supports approved learning resources and facilitation. Each brief identifies its authorized receiving organization, program purpose, responsible lead, supported costs, delivery window and reporting date. Confirm acceptance and gift terms through the established process.

Enter quantities and current written unit quotes for reusable displays, print materials, demonstration equipment, event fees, staffing, transport, storage and access support. Record quote date, vendor, shipping, tax and restrictions. Separate one time equipment from event costs. Total = sum of quantity multiplied by unit cost plus tax and shipping. Add an explicitly selected contingency percentage to the eligible subtotal. Record confirmed in kind support separately. Quotes, approved budgets, pledges and actual receipts each retain their own status.

Reusable: backdrop quantity × quoted unit cost; banner quantity × quoted unit cost; table covering; display stands; equipment cases. Per event: organizer fee; cards and workbooks; permitted staffing; transport; storage allocation; connectivity; captioning or access services. Each line carries the approval owner and evidence reference. The interactive planner starts at zero so the total reflects entered costs. An event budget becomes approved through the established authorized review.

Offer the existing partnership inquiry at https://mission.convergenceq45.org/partner#qp-inquiry-form. Let the visitor specify a resource request, workshop interest, group inquiry or question, and their preferred response channel. Record update preferences separately. The assigned coordinator checks for an existing inquiry before creating follow-up. Prepare the requested resource and route email through the established communication workflow and current sending authority.

Count visitor conversations, individual activity completions, family group completions, resources distributed and voluntary follow-up requests in separate fields. Record staff hours and actual costs. Use a denominator whenever reporting a rate: activity completion rate = individual completions / individual invitations offered, where both were counted consistently. Report workshop attendance only after matching a subsequent attendance record. A follow-up request establishes interest at the time it was made.

Event and reporting period; approved purpose; authorized recipient; planned budget; actual spending by category; accepted in kind support; activities delivered; aggregate counts with collection method; participant feedback shared with permission; lessons learned; unused funds and their treatment under gift terms; next action; responsible lead; next update date. Include source references for receipts and activity counts in the private record. Public stories require the appropriate permission.

At closing, secure equipment, tally resources, collect receipts and leave the venue as agreed. Within two business days, reconcile costs and anonymous counts and assign each opted in inquiry. Within seven days, hold an internal review of visitor flow, accessibility, clarity, team capacity and resource usefulness. At the agreed reporting date, prepare the evidence based donor update for authorized delivery. Keep earlier versions and record changes for the next event.

Prepare a reusable artwork master and a separate vendor proof for each actual product. Obtain the vendor template, finished dimensions, bleed, safe area, resolution, color profile, material, finish, attachment method, shipping and proof requirements before print export. Verify written URLs and the approved bookstore QR at actual print size. Inspect folds, edges, contrast and mobile destination behavior. Preserve source artwork and proof approvals with the quote. Vendor quotes and print approvals remain required production steps.

This kit is a new planning and operating resource dated November 5, 2026. It extends the existing donor vision and community outreach pathways. The private budget planner keeps entries in page memory and exports a local JSON copy on request. Existing donation acceptance, payment, registration and participant account systems retain their established procedures. Current source publication and actual event readiness are verified separately.
