Not all corporations register with volunteer centres. Companies will often be willing to advertise the volunteer requirements of local nonprofits in their newsletter or on their bulletin boards. Ask current volunteers to help. Most companies will respond favourably when one of their employees suggests that a local charity deserves help in finding more volunteers. Make a business-like approach.
Some companies can receive many requests for volunteers.
Asking must be formal and business-like in order to be heard. Requests should be written and clearly state what kind of help, and how much of it, the nonprofit needs. Make it easy for the company to follow up. A corporation will want to know exactly what services the charity provides, how long it has been established, and what type of clients it serves. This information will help the company decide whether a charity's mission fits its own community service goals.
