5 Volunteer Stats Every Nonprofit Should Know

Volunteers are the fuel that makes your organization go. The time and drive they dedicate to your mission, events, and any other initiatives have a direct impact on your success. 

But how much is that time actually worth? And what can you do to find more volunteers, keep them engaged, and make sure the relationship benefits them as much as it benefits you? 

These five stats answer those questions with insight into the estimated dollar value of volunteer hours, the growing role of corporate volunteer programs, and what the research says about how volunteering affects mental health. 

Whether you’re building your first volunteer program or looking to strengthen one you already have, these numbers give you a starting point, and VolunteerMatters gives you the tools to act on them.
