5 Ways to Steward Your Volunteers

We all know how important it is to say thank you to our donors. Beyond the regulatory requirement to provide an acknowledgement for tax purposes, we know that a donor who feels appreciated and understands how their donation touched another person’s life is more likely to give again.

It’s just as important, however, to thank those who volunteer their time instead of (or in addition to) their dollars. Their gift of time is, perhaps, even more valuable. After all, money is a renewable resource, and time is not.

This year, make sure your stewardship plans involve thanking your volunteers, even if they don’t make a monetary donation. (And for those that do both, make sure to say thank you for both!)
