Companies are from Mars; Nonprofits are from Venus

Contributed by: David Warshaw

Wednesday, August 23, 2006 (6 years 266 days ago)

Workplace volunteering is a growth industry.

Companies – from the Fortune 500 to small local firms – are investing in programs that support their employees' community activities, greatly increasing the pool of talented volunteers ready to serve community needs.

This should be terrific news for agency directors and volunteer resources managers.  Yet many nonprofits find it very difficult to tap into this expanding resource.  Could it be a communication and expectation gap?  Are "companies from Mars and nonprofits from Venus" when it comes to figuring out how to best involve employee volunteers?

CharityChannel's WE REVIEW

CharityChannel members who have been admitted to the WE REVIEW Contributors Panel are eligible to receive recently-published books from a variety of publishers (and some self-publishers) to review. Reviews are not limited to books published by CharityChannel Press, the publishing project of the CharityChannel professional community. If you are interested in reviewing books, you are welcome to apply. Note that, even though WE REVIEW has been publishing reviews for over a decade, it has recently been reorganized and re-launched. We took the opportunity to remove prior reviews, since our focus is on newly published books.
