A Whopping 90% of the People Who Attended This Nonprofit Webinar Rated It As Great to Excellent!

Volunteer appreciation is a core strategy, not only because it’s the right thing to do, but also because regular gratitude will boost your long-term results and engagement with volunteers.

Gestures big and small can be meaningful to your volunteers, but many nonprofit staff are still using outdated ideas about motivation. Don’t become a revolving door for underappreciated board members and volunteers. Learn how to demonstrate genuine gratitude that is truly meaningful to volunteers and Board members and you’ll keep them coming back year after year.

In this 90-minute webinar recording, we’ll share simple ways you can keep volunteers and Board members motivated and engaged all year long using methods that are creative, inspiring, and easy on the budget.  

Your presenter, Tobi Johnson, has helped countless nonprofits develop strategies to acknowledge volunteers and Board members in ways that keep them coming back. She will share tip sheets and templates, developed from 30 years experience in the field,  to help you get your recognition plan moving immediately.

What Attendees Said about This Nonprofit Webinar:

“Presenter was enthusiastic and knowledgeable.  I like how she weaved research into her presentation and made her recommendations evidence-based.  I also liked how she brought in ideas - like submitting for a national award or the mayor's proclamation.  Most important, though, was the presentation on intrinsic/extrinsic motivators and on unspoken expectations.  Well done.  Glad I took the time to participate in this webinar.”

Nancy McCullar, Casa of Berks County

“Knowing that we should show appreciation for volunteers is not news ... but knowing HOW can be the difference in creating successful volunteer retention. I'm grateful for Tobi's practical approach in strategy, and innovative recommendations on how to further personal connections. Great webinar!”

Lindsay Obringer, Keys School

Deb Bassett, The Center: 7 Rivers LGTBTQ Connection

Anita Murphy, Jasper-Dubois County Public Library

"Our small nonprofit relies on volunteers to achieve our mission.  We have been very fortunate to attract a solid group of dedicated volunteers. We have been looking for meaningful ways to thank these longtime folks as well as attract and engage new people.  This nonprofit webinar provided concrete suggestions to help us achieve those goals. I look forward to listening to volunteer recruitment next!"

Laurie Cleveland, Sourland Conservancy
