VolunteerMatch

VolunteerMatch is a national nonprofit organization that operates a website connecting volunteers with opportunities. Founded in 1998, its mission is to help individuals find ways to make a difference in their communities and to support organizations in recruiting volunteers. The website features a searchable database of volunteer opportunities posted by thousands of charities and nonprofit organizations across the United States. Users can search by location, interests, skills, and time commitment to find suitable volunteer roles.

The platform serves as a bridge between individuals looking to contribute their time and skills and organizations that need assistance. VolunteerMatch provides tools and resources for both volunteers and organizations. For volunteers, it offers guidance on how to get started and make the most of their volunteer experiences. For organizations, it provides a platform to list their needs, manage volunteer applications, and recruit effectively. The organization aims to simplify the process of volunteering, making it more accessible and efficient for everyone involved. VolunteerMatch is supported by grants, corporate sponsorships, and individual donations.
