While the number of corporations offering volunteer grant programs as part of their corporate philanthropy isn’t as high as the number offering matching-gift programs, there is still a large amount of money being unclaimed by nonprofit organizations via their volunteers.
When an employee of a company volunteers with an eligible nonprofit organization, there is the opportunity for that employee to submit a volunteer grant request, which comes in two different forms. Some companies require employees to volunteer a certain number of hours before they can request volunteer grants (for example, if an employee of Best Buy volunteers 40 hours in one year, Best Buy will provide a $1,000 monetary grant to the same organization). The other type of grant is when a company pays a per-hour rate. For example, if a Capital One employee volunteers with a nonprofit organization, Capital One will pay $1 per hour volunteered.

- Best Buy
- Capital One
