I need to justify to my group why I paid to use VolunteerSpot.
Do you have any information I can give them?
Yes! VolunteerSpot provides valuable cost and time-saving to every group that uses us – the larger the event, and the more people or shifts involved, the bigger the benefit.
Time Saving: Using VolunteerSpot, it typically takes only 14 minutes to set up, coordinate and recruit volunteers for an average size activity compared to 4.3 hours using traditional methods. For leaders coordinating large groups or multiple daily volunteer shifts, we save up to two days a month by eliminating back-and-forth emails, phone calls, and excel spreadsheets!
We know, those were "free" volunteer hours, so where’s the savings?
Well, the savings are in the fact that the wonderful person who agreed to organize this complicated mentoring program, tournament, conference schedule, school carnival, building team, has another life. And if we use up too much of her time needlessly on relentlessly boring and tedious administrative tasks, this good person will likely burn out and move on. We don’t have an endless supply of good, capable, helpful, organized people willing to work for free. Do you? We thought not. That’s why we created VolunteerSpot -- make volunteering easier, keep your people happy year after year, and do more good!
Can I write this off on my taxes?
You can likely expense VolunteerSpot or write it off on your taxes as software/supplies (check with your tax advisor).
More money for your group. Got your attention?
VolunteerSpot makes signing up to help so simple, most groups see a 20 percent increase in new volunteers at their VolunteerSpot-powered events. And those new volunteers are an incredible source of additional donations of time, materials and cash – so VolunteerSpot is actually an investment in making your group run better and with more resources.
So go ahead and contribute. You not only help other groups, you help your own as well. Thanks!!
