Nonprofit Partnership
 

Important Note: Registration for new Nonprofit Partners is currently on hiatus and we hope to resume partnerships in late 2023.

If you have questions or if you would like for us to follow up with you once registration is open, email us.

In order to provide our partners and volunteers with the best customer service possible, we're unable to post volunteer opportunities for organizations that have not completed the partnership process.

Below is a brief list of online resources for you to use if you have a volunteer opportunity that requires posting before the partnership process has been completed:


Thanks for your interest - we look forward to working with you!

Learn about Nonprofit Partner benefits 

Hands On Nonprofit Partners have a variety of resources at their fingertips, including:

Ability to connect with volunteers online - Whether you're looking for a group of volunteers to tackle a one-time project, event volunteers to support you annually or individual volunteers interested in committing to an on-going shift or skill-based project, we can help! As a partner you'll be able to post volunteer opportunities to our searchable online opportunity database, which hundreds of local volunteers visit every week.

Support in managing "done-in-a-day" volunteer projects - Let us do all the work! If you have a need that can be met by bringing in volunteers for a one-time, group-based, direct-service project, we're available to help develop the project, manage volunteer sign-ups, send confirmation and reminder emails to volunteers and track hours for those who attend. We'll also place one of our awesome Hands On trained Volunteer Leaders on the project to help support you and the volunteers.

Opportunity to work with corporate volunteers - Our BusinessCares program develops "done-in-a-day" volunteer projects for our corporate partners. This is a great way to introduce service-oriented companies from the Greater Portland area to your organization.

Access to additional resources and best practices - We strive to connect our Nonprofit Partners with valuable resources to strengthen their volunteer programs, while supporting them in addressing critical needs in the Greater Portland community. As a partner, you'll have access to resources such as: volunteer recruitment tips, information on networking opportunities and professional memberships, templates/samples documents, and more.
