Volunteerism up in 2009!
June 17th, 2010
Each year, the Corporation for National and Community Service publishes Volunteering in America, which is a report comprised of volunteer information and statistics from the previous year.
Volunteering in America 2010 was published on June 15th and for the nonprofit organizations that rely on the generosity of volunteers, the findings are encouraging. In 2009, volunteerism increased dramatically. 63.4 million Americans volunteered in 2009, an increase of 1.6 million volunteers from 2008. This is the largest increase in volunteerism since 2003. In total, volunteers donated 8.1 billion hours of their time. Out of the 50 states and Washington D.C., Tennessee ranked 32nd in volunteers with 1.4 million volunteers!
