PND News - Impact Fund Helps Nonprofits Manage Volunteers: "Impact Fund Helps Nonprofits Manage Volunteers

The Atlanta-based UPS Foundation and two leading U.S. companies are collaborating to launch a grantmaking fund to help nonprofits manage volunteers more effectively.

Established with a $1 million, three-year grant from the UPS Foundation, and in development for the past year, Impact: A Fund for Change Through Volunteerism will pool resources from the foundation, Home Depot, and Capital One Financial with resources provided by local funders in five states to encourage organizations to work together to address challenges in volunteer management they previously have tackled alone. Eventually, the fund expects to issue calls for proposals for both national and local projects, based on the particular interests of participating funders. Management and staff support for the initiative will be provided by the National Human Services Assembly."
