Do you realize how valuable volunteers are to your organization? Every year, the nonprofit coalition Independent Sector estimates of the value of one volunteer hour (e.g., what it would cost a nonprofit to hire someone instead). In California, that figure is $31.52/hour. However, the amount varies by state, ranging from $20.95/hour in Mississippi to a whopping $44.14/hour in the District of Colombia.
The bottom line? Volunteers are an incredible asset to your nonprofit. Are you treating your volunteers like the treasure they really are?
