Glossary Term

Volunteer Grants

Corporate philanthropy programs (also referred to as "Dollars for Doers") where a company makes a monetary donation to a nonprofit organization based on the number of hours an employee volunteers with that charity.

Why It Matters

For Corporations

Encourages hands-on community service and directly honors the personal causes employees dedicate their free time to supporting. It allows corporate CSR teams to amplify the social impact of their workforce by pairing human capital with financial backing.

For Nonprofits

Converts free volunteer labor into additional cash revenue, maximizing the financial value of every individual supporter. It gives development teams a powerful incentive to turn local corporate volunteers into dual-impact financial donors.
