Nonprofits rely on raw data to learn about supporters, track the success of marketing and fundraising campaigns, and measure program progress. Using this data, your organization can determine which metrics are best for measuring your social impact and illustrating all of your work’s tangible achievements.

They lead fun activities, build relationships with the kids, and ultimately take charge of the hands-on tasks needed to run your ministry. But it isn’t simply enough to recruit volunteers and thank them when their work is done; it’s your responsibility to equip them for this essential role with the training and resources they need to excel.

The initiative is meant to appeal to younger and more tech-savvy people in need of a checkup. To help the public better visualize the importance of eye health, the American Optometric Association has launched an awareness campaign that reimagines the eye as a high-tech device. “The Eye,” launched last month by AOA , uses visual design to imply that our eyeballs are more sophisticated—and more precious—than any late-model smartphone or tablet.

30% of volunteers state that one of the main reasons they volunteer is because they have the time available to do so. Conversely, 49% of individuals state that their work commitments are their biggest obstacle to volunteering. Fortunately, some of your volunteers make time to volunteer with volunteer time off (VTO). VTO helps nonprofits earn more volunteers, meaning more hands available to run your programs, raise funds, and spread awareness of your cause.

While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance. In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.
