How can we have a volunteering boom and a volunteering crisis simultaneously? Corporate America is bullish on volunteering, with budget increases planned across team and skills-based programs, yet this enthusiasm isn't translating into the strategic, sustained support nonprofits are looking for. While the majority of nonprofits rely heavily on volunteers, few report that corporate volunteers contribute meaningfully to long-term capacity building. This session highlights new data from Benevity's latest research that reveals the growing gap between corporate investment and nonprofit impact.

This workshop hosted by Benevity addresses one of the sector's most pressing paradoxes: How can we have a volunteering boom and a volunteering crisis simultaneously? 

This disconnect represents both the sector's most urgent challenge and its biggest opportunity, requiring fresh thinking around program effectiveness, measurement approaches, and the fundamental “why” of corporate volunteering.

Attendees will leave with:

• Fresh data on where corporate volunteering is falling short — and where the opportunity lies
• Honest perspective from both the corporate and nonprofit side of the table
• Practical ideas generated with peers across five key opportunity areas
• A clearer sense of what it actually takes to make volunteering work for everyone involved
