Why track volunteer time?
1. We volunteers appreciate appreciation. We count what we value, so tracking
volunteer time is important. Recognition is a good investment; it pays off
spectacularly.
2. Funders and donors want to know what resources your nonprofit already
receives and from whom. "Our funders see volunteer inputs as a measure of
effectiveness," says Donna Newton, director of the Guilford Nonprofit
Consortium, a network of 140 community-based nonprofits in Guilford County,
North Carolina. "Reporting volunteer contributions is essential in securing
funding."
3. Funders, donors and the community want to know if you have the people in
place to get the job done well. "This becomes a real problem when the nonprofit
attempts to cost a program," according to Kevin Gray, a program officer with the
Weaver Foundation in Greensboro, North Carolina. "Too often volunteer inputs
are not factored in properly, giving a false sense of the true cost."
4. Volunteer time can help you meet requirements for matching funds. Certain
grants stipulate that the nonprofit must match a percentage of grant funds and
that the value of volunteer time may qualify toward satisfaction of the match
requirement.
5. Documenting volunteer time can help protect volunteers and the nonprofit.
Requiring volunteers to log activity creates a record that may become important
evidence in defending the nonprofit or volunteers from allegations of
misconduct. Blue Avocado contributor Pamela Davis of the Nonprofits' Insurance
Alliance of California and ANI-RRG, the country's leading policyholder-controlled
insurers of nonprofits, shared this real life example:
