What Motivates Employees to Volunteer?
● The choice to volunteer how they want
● Feeling that they’re not being pressured to volunteer
“ The desires to give back and volunteer are important to our core sense
of self.”
- Junelle Kroontje, King County Employee Giving Program
“ When employees feel as though they have a choice in their workplace
giving and volunteering, they feel engaged and are more likely to value
the experience.”
- Kim Young, America’s Charities
A Balancing Act
We want our programs to
have positive impact on:
● Our company
● Our employees
● Our community
A Balancing Act
● Develop a clear framework
● Allow for flexibility within that framework
○ VTO
○ Recognition for outside volunteer activities
● Keep nonprofits needs top of mind
● Access the VolunteerMatch Network database of searchable, high-
quality volunteer opportunities, filterable by keyword, cause area,
skills, location, and more.
The VolunteerMatch Network
Reduces the cost and complexity of putting employee
talent to good use in the community.
“Ask employees to give and you’ll see a handful of one-off
transactions. But empower employees to learn about,
connect with, and give to the causes that interest them, and
you’ll have yourself a team of employees championing your
company’s community involvement and cause initiatives.”
- Chris Jarvis, Realized Worth
The Anatomy of a High-Quality Volunteer
Experience

● Meaningful to the individual volunteer
● Something that the nonprofit actually needs
VolunteerMatch + Your Existing Program

partnerships
● Feature certain cause areas or nonprofit partners
● Turn on the network in your existing giving platform, or facilitate your own
integration.
