Your volunteers show up. They serve meals, mentor students, organize events, and give their time because they believe in your mission. But here’s something most nonprofit teams don’t realize: volunteer hours often represent untapped funding potential.
That’s why we’re excited to announce our new integration with Double the Donation Volunteering. This partnership helps you unlock a revenue stream that’s been hiding in plain sight.
The Hidden Corporate Volunteer Grant Opportunity
You probably know about matching gifts. A donor gives $100, their employer matches it, and suddenly that gift is worth $200. Pretty straightforward.
But volunteer grants work differently, and they’re vastly underutilized. Through programs called “Dollars for Doers,” companies donate money to nonprofits where their employees volunteer. We’re talking real money: corporations often pay substantial sums for every hour served.
The problem? Most volunteers have no idea their employer offers these programs. And most nonprofit teams don’t have the bandwidth to research, track, and follow up on these opportunities manually.
That’s exactly what this integration solves.
How Virtuous Volunteer + Double the Donation Works Together
When someone registers for a volunteer opportunity through our volunteer management platform, Virtuous Volunteer, their information automatically flows to Double the Donation Volunteering. From there, the platform begins automated outreach about volunteer grant opportunities.
Your volunteers receive an immediate prompt to search for their company, verify their eligibility, and complete their volunteer grant request. No spreadsheets. No manual tracking. No volunteers slipping through the cracks.
“At Virtuous, we believe generosity isn’t just a transaction; it’s a relationship. To truly honor our supporters, we have to see the whole person, ” says Gabe Cooper, CEO of Virtuous. “By integrating Double the Donation Volunteering and Virtuous Volunteer, we’re breaking down the silos between giving time and giving resources. This allows nonprofits to listen to their supporters’ signals and respond, ensuring that every hour of service can also unlock vital financial fuel for the mission.”
What This Means for Your Organization
This integration creates a complete supporter experience. Whether someone gives their money or their time, you’re now equipped to help them maximize their impact through corporate giving programs.
Here’s what the integration does:
Connects volunteer registration to grant identification. When volunteers sign up through Virtuous Volunteer, their information automatically flows to Double the Donation Volunteering.
Triggers automated outreach. Double the Donation immediately begins automated follow-up about volunteer grant opportunities specific to each volunteer’s employer.
Provides company-specific next steps. Volunteers can search for their company, view their eligibility, and get clear guidance on how to submit their volunteer grant request.
“We’ve long partnered with Virtuous CRM+ and Virtuous Raise to help nonprofits capture gift matches on their donors’ gifts,” said Adam Weinger, President of Double the Donation. “Now, we’re expanding the pool of potential workplace giving opportunities available to nonprofits by connecting volunteers with their match opportunities, too.”
Why This Matters Beyond the Money
Yes, corporate volunteer grants represent real revenue. But this integration does something even more important: it honors the full relationship you have with your supporters.
When someone volunteers with your organization, they’re telling you something. They’re saying your mission matters enough to give their most valuable resource: their time. When you help them turn those hours into additional funding, you’re showing them their contribution matters in every form it takes.
You’re also building deeper connections. Volunteers who see you helping them maximize their impact are more likely to stay engaged with your mission.
