Volunteer Thank-You Gift FAQs
Why are volunteer thank-you gifts important?
Most nonprofits rely on volunteers to provide essential services to their communities. Their time is valuable, so you must show your gratitude for their passion and dedication. Here are some key benefits of dedicated volunteer thank-you gifts:
- They help build relationships. Approximately 80% of volunteers state that they would like the organizations they volunteer with to recognize or thank them. Engage this population by providing personalized gifts that really matter.
- They demonstrate organizational culture. Sending thank-you gifts shows your nonprofit’s commitment to volunteer satisfaction and can attract new volunteers.
- They make your nonprofit more memorable. While saying thank you with a card or email is still important, if you want the message to really stick, sending a gift can help. Gifts are especially helpful for making a great first impression and re-engaging new volunteers.
- They help you retain volunteers. It can be challenging and costly to source new volunteers. Use gifts to make your volunteers feel appreciated and retain their skills.
