Happy International Volunteer Day, everyone! We're extremely proud of our colleagues who have made a difference this year through a variety of volunteering efforts with our amazing charity partners, and in their own communities. We've provided career advice and workshops to young people from under-represented backgrounds, climbed a mountain to fundraise for vision-impaired ex-Servicemen and women, and rolled up our sleeves to tend to community gardens. This year alone our people have recorded thousands of volunteering hours, shaping the world for the better. 💙

The latest report from The Generosity Commission spotlights the transformation and expansion of the giving landscape. As business leaders, funders, and mentors, I believe it is important that we embed a culture of giving, volunteering, and impact investing into our companies' ethos to support a future of generosity. As Jerre Stead shares, "Generosity that results in lasting change needs to be approached from multiple angles—philanthropic giving, impactful volunteering, thoughtful investments, and strong advocacy."
The Generosity Commission’s report, Everyday Actions, Extraordinary Potential: The Power of Giving and Volunteering, was just published. The report analyzes current trends and offers nine actionable recommendations to inspire and strengthen everyday giving and volunteering with nonprofits. Discover how these strategies can impact your organization and community.

I love volunteering because it’s a great way to connect with like-minded individuals and make a positive impact. Here are my top 3 reasons for volunteering: 1. Positive Impact: By giving back to your community, you can make a real difference in the lives of others. It’s incredibly rewarding to see the positive impact of your efforts. 2. Stronger Connections: Volunteering can help you meet new people, build lasting relationships, and strengthen your community. It’s a great way to expand your social circle. 3. Self-care: Volunteering can reduce stress, combat depression, and improve overall well-being. It’s a fantastic way to give back while taking care of yourself. #volunteer #volunteerlife #volunteerism #careerdevelopment #skillsdevelopment #nonprofit #giveback #socialimpact #volunteerwork #philanthropy #communityservice

Today, on the International Day of Volunteering, we celebrate the countless individuals who dedicate their time, energy, and compassion to building a better world. From mentoring youth to protecting our environment, volunteering strengthens communities and fosters positive change. It's not just about the impact on those being served; volunteering offers personal growth, skill development, and a profound sense of purpose for the volunteers themselves. This day isn't merely an acknowledgment of past contributions, but a powerful call to action – a reminder that every one of us can make a difference, regardless of our background or skills. Whether it's donating time to a local charity, mentoring a young person, or participating in a community initiative, every act of service, no matter how small, creates ripples of positive change. Let's use this day to explore opportunities to volunteer, connect with organizations that align with our values, and inspire others to join the movement of selfless service, transforming our communities and building a more just and sustainable future for all. #InternationalDayofVolunteering #Volunteering #Community #Kindness #GivingBack #MakingADifference #GlobalCitizenship

What Compels Someone to Volunteer for a Nonprofit? For many, volunteering is a motivation that goes beyond helping others; it’s a deep, personal call to make a difference, fueled by a desire to bring hope and kindness to those who need it most. Volunteering offers an opportunity to build a legacy of positive impact—whether it's uplifting communities, creating opportunities, or being part of someone’s journey toward self-sufficiency. Nonprofits often become a bridge for individuals to take action that is aligned with their values, creating real change together. Volunteers are compelled by the belief that, when we give our time and talent, we’re building a stronger, more connected world. What drives you to volunteer?
