In this economy, many people are choosing to donate time rather than money. Doesn’t asking for an activation donation create a barrier for people who want to help out?
Volunteers provide valuable services to nonprofits — many of whom rely on volunteer work to continue to operate – but volunteers also cost nonprofits money. It costs money to recruit, deploy, train and manage volunteers. Nonprofits have to pay for technology, staff time, supplies, training and more. At HandsOn, we believe that the investment is well worth it. That is why we think most volunteers who can afford it will want to cover at least some of the cost of putting them to work. This investment will ultimately benefit them.
