-Donors should have the ability to track their contributions at non-profits
Other Info
Two-thirds of college students borrow to pay for college. Their average debt load is over $23,000 by the time they graduate and job wages have only modestly increased—leaving less money to pay the bills.
College graduates are working two or more jobs to make ends meet, leaving little time to volunteer.
Volunteer rates of college students decrease dramatically after graduation. As a result, non-profits and ultimately under-served communities lose out.
Non-profit organizations have to do more with less funding. The impact of non-profits lies in its ability to recruit, manage, and retain volunteers.
