Become a Business Sponsor

What is a business sponsor, and how can my company become one?

Any business can become a sponsor. A successful volunteer center depends on business sponsors. We see their support as an investment in the economic development and quality of life of the Cedar Valley.

The Volunteer Center National Network (VCNN), made up of over 400 Volunteer Centers, is working diligently to answer the President's call to engage every American in service.  And we've been working for many years doing this and more.  We engage volunteers in traditional voluntary service, and in 2002 alone, our network mobilized and deployed over 2.4 million Americans to more than 100,000 nonprofit organizations.  Volunteer Centers remain the best-leveraged charitable investment available. Your charitable investment will result in an enormous, and measurable, impact on the Cedar Valley community.

• We ensure that all residents in the Cedar Valley have easy access to comprehensive, quality information about volunteer opportunities in their neighborhoods;  
  
• We enable local schools, community, faith-based groups and other nonprofit organizations to have access to quality training and support to increase their capacity to recruit, manage, retain and recognize traditional volunteers; 
  
• We coordinate activities to promote the ethic and practice of volunteerism and to recognize the work of local volunteers in their communities.
