Even in these economic times, Americans are reaching out to support one another at rates higher than for the previous six years.
The Chronicle of Philanthropy, summarizing a report by the Corporation for National and Community Service, says that more than 63 million Americans (and that's only counting adults), volunteered to help a charitable cause last year. That is nearly 27 percent of the adult population. Read the details.
This is clearly a tremendous resource, and to help manage, coordinate, and leverage the time and talents of these volunteers, VisionLink will be releasing a new Volunteer Management module in its Community Operating System software this summer. Designed in partnership with a number of customers, including design and funding support from the Coordinated Assistance Network, it's a powerful solution supporting both individual and groups of volunteers.
Let us know if we can help your community make a difference!
