New dates added for October and November! See Uncommon Giving in action at our weekly product demo.
In April, we celebrate National Volunteer Month—a time to honor the incredible individuals who dedicate their time, energy, and talents to make a positive impact on communities nationwide.
This month-long celebration serves as a reminder of the profound difference that volunteers can make in the lives of others and the importance of giving back to our communities.
Originally intended to recognize the contributions of volunteers during World War II, the month has since evolved into a nationwide celebration of volunteerism and service. From helping senior citizens at shelter homes to organizing fundraisers for local charities, volunteers play a vital role in creating a brighter, more compassionate world.
At Uncommon Giving, we believe that celebrating National Volunteer Month is not only a chance to recognize the selfless efforts of volunteers but also an opportunity for companies to strengthen their corporate culture, boost employee morale, and make a positive impact on their communities. By engaging in volunteer, giving, and impact initiatives, companies can foster a sense of purpose and fulfillment among their employees while also creating meaningful change in the world.
So, to really make a splash for this year’s volunteer month, we’ve listed out 5 ways that your company can celebrate!
Encourage employees to volunteer their time and talents by implementing a volunteer matching program. For every hour volunteered, companies can pledge to donate a certain amount to a charitable organization of the employee’s choice. This not only incentivizes volunteering but also demonstrates the company’s commitment to social responsibility and community engagement.
In today’s digital age, virtual volunteer events offer a convenient and accessible way for employees to give back to their communities. Whether it’s organizing a virtual food drive, hosting a remote tutoring session, or participating in a virtual fundraiser, companies can harness the power of technology to make a difference from the comfort of their own homes.
Dedicate a day for employees to volunteer together as a team. Whether it’s participating in a community cleanup project, volunteering at a local food bank, or planting trees in a neighborhood park, volunteering as a group fosters teamwork, camaraderie, and a sense of unity among employees.
In addition to volunteering their time, companies can also give back to their communities through corporate giving initiatives. Whether it’s donating funds to support local charities, sponsoring community events, or offering grants to nonprofit organizations, corporate giving is a powerful way for companies to make a positive impact and support causes that align with their values.
Take the time to recognize and celebrate the efforts of volunteers throughout National Volunteer Month. Whether it’s hosting a virtual awards ceremony, spotlighting volunteer stories on social media, or organizing a volunteer appreciation event, acknowledging volunteers’ contributions goes a long way in building a culture of gratitude, appreciation, and giving back.
