We know that collaborative efforts increase impact. With volunteerism globally on the decline, more and more nonprofits are turning their attention to corporations to help boost their workforce numbers and deliver impact within their communities.

What is a corporate volunteering program?

Corporate volunteering can incorporate many activities, from one-off volunteering events to long-term partnerships between businesses and nonprofits. Companies often facilitate this engagement by providing opportunities for employees to volunteer during working hours, granting paid time off for volunteering, or organising company-sponsored volunteer events.

What are the benefits of using corporates as part of your volunteer workforce?

There are countless benefits to using corporate volunteers including:

Skills infusion brought by a broad range of diverse volunteers
Enhanced brand association as your nonprofit is brought to attention
Financial support in the form of donations
Sponsorship opportunities including perks for your existing volunteers
Access to technology to drive operational and cost efficiencies
