$1,350,000 in consulting services – the economic value of donated time by Endeavour volunteers
November 8, 2009 Endeavour volunteers have provided an equivalent of $1,350,000 in consulting services to non-profit organizations since 2007, according to Endeavour’s first annual report released on October 21, 2009. Should these volunteers receive monetary compensation for the thousands of hours that they donated? Politicians in Ottawa and interested parties across Canada, are talking about providing some sort of tax credit for volunteer effort. This controversial issue is addressed in a study by Volunteer Alberta, The Potential Impact of Canadian Federal and/or Provincial Tax Credit Incentives for Volunteer Participation, and a discussion paper by Volunteer Canada, Attaching Economic Value to Volunteer Contribution, both published in 2009.
