Steve,

That’s very unfortunate that you’ve had these experiences. All of the charities that I have worked with have been incredibly grateful for willing volunteers. I would say that probably varies from charity to charity, and the larger charities are probably more likely to just want a financial donation. I encourage you to keep trying though. There are countless charities out there that would love to have your help!!

A hope for change comes with the economic problems, that non profits begin to value the time of volunteers. It has been my experience with non profits that what they really value is financial donations, rather than donations of time and talent It’s a foolish choice as well, for very often the value of of the latter cannot be bought by the money they work so feverishly to get through grants. Because of my negative experiences with greedy non profits, I no longer offer my time.

Thanks for the good advice. With non-profits struggling in the rough economic times, it is important to do every bit we can to help. I have some additional online resources along these lines on my blog.
