Description:
As the world's leading volunteer organization with more than 20 years of history and a bipartisan legacy, Points of Light connects people to their power to create positive change and address the critical needs of our communities.

Stakeholder(s):

• Volunteer Organizations: ... volunteer organizations must be able to help people make the greatest impact possible with not only their time, but also their talent, voice and money.


• People: People have always been at the center of change. People today have more power to drive change than ever before. At the same time, society is demanding much more from the world of volunteerism in the 21st century as a rapidly globalizing economy puts increasing pressure on governments, businesses, nonprofits and other institutions to do more with less.
