About Us

Inspiring Service is a national nonprofit based in Cincinnati, Ohio, focused on developing technology-based processes that help support strong volunteer communities. Our mission is to connect passionate individuals with nonprofit organizations in need, fostering a culture of service and community support.

Our Approach

We’re dedicated to supporting nonprofits in improving Volunteer Connection, the crucial first step in the volunteer journey. Our aim is to lower the barrier for nonprofits to connect with volunteers through technology and data-driven strategies. By enhancing online profiles and utilizing these innovative approaches, we ensure that more volunteers find opportunities that match their passions, making the process seamless and efficient for both nonprofits and volunteers.

Current Project: Enhancing Nonprofit Profiles

We are excited to partner with Galaxy Digital on this national effort to enhance nonprofit profiles on volunteer recruitment sites, making it easier for volunteers to find and connect with opportunities that match their interests. Through developing new technology and with the assistance of virtual volunteers, we’re able to reduce the burden on nonprofits to keep their online profiles up-to-date for active volunteer recruitment.

Our approach includes:

  • Review Nonprofit Profiles: Utilizing Inspiring Service’s technology and virtual volunteers to assess and enhance profiles.
  • Provide Recommendations: Suggesting updates for logos, website links, social media, and descriptive text.
  • Approval Process: Allowing nonprofits to approve or modify proposed changes to ensure accuracy and engagement.

This project is designed to boost the visibility and impact of nonprofit organizations, making the volunteer connection process more efficient and effective.

Why It Matters

Volunteers are the backbone of our communities. With over 60 million Americans contributing approximately $150 billion annually through volunteer work, the impact is undeniable. Given the recent national decline in volunteer numbers and the growing expectation of finding everything online, enhancing the digital volunteer experience is crucial. However, many nonprofits operate with limited resources and often lack the capacity to maintain or fully leverage online volunteer recruitment opportunities.

By improving online profiles and utilizing data, Inspiring Service helps bridge this gap, ensuring that more volunteers find opportunities that align with their passions. This support allows nonprofits to focus more on our core mission while benefiting from a stronger volunteer base.
