8 Tips for Tapping Social Capital

3. Volunteers
Do you need volunteers to canvass your community or help out during a special event? If so, let constituents know what you need help with and reward them with a thank-you or other payback.

4. Equipment and supplies
If you need a better digital or video camera, a printer, or office furniture and supplies, let constituents know. There's a good chance they've recently upgraded their technology but their old equipment still works and is just collecting dust. Add equipment and supplies you need to your wish list.
