Many companies not only encourage their employees to volunteer time to nonprofits in their communities, but also will match those efforts with dollars and other means of support.
Volunteer Support Programs – sometimes called “Dollars for Doers” – can take various forms. Also known as individual volunteer grants, these programs essentially reward employees who take time to donate their time to a nonprofit.
