2018 Value of Volunteer Time of $25.43 Per Hour
Today,
Independent Sector announces that the latest value of a volunteer hour is
$25.43 – up 3% from the previous year. That figure, estimated from data
collected in 2018, shows the incredible contributions volunteers make to their
communities and our country.
Currently,
about 63 million Americans volunteer about 8 billion hours of their time,
talent, and effort to improve and strengthen their communities. With the new
Value of Volunteer Time, these Americans are contributing approximately $203.4
billion to our nation through nonprofit organizations of all types. The release
of this figure coincides with National
Volunteer Week, April 7-13, a program of Points of Light meant to celebrate
the power and impact of volunteer service.
