In Bonterra CyberGrants, volunteers can record the time they spend supporting nonprofits by logging their individual hours.
-
It is important to note that if volunteers participate in an event through the program, those hours may be automatically recorded against the event, depending on your company’s configuration. The process described here applies to independent volunteer activity.
Logging these hours ensures that all volunteer contributions, such as help with food drives, assisting at a nonprofit event, or serving on a board, are tracked in one place, making it easier to measure participation, recognize contributions, and manage reporting.
The following steps describe how the process works for volunteers logging their individual volunteer hours through the portal.
Step 1: Open the Volunteer page
From the home page, select Volunteer in the top navigation bar. On the Volunteer page, click Log Your Hours.
Step 2: Search for your organization
Use the Organization Search tool to find the nonprofit where you volunteered.
-
You can search by organization name or use the advanced search to add filters such as state, city, location (country), or Charity ID.
In the search results, locate the Action column. If your organization is eligible, click Select.
Step 3: Enter your volunteer details
Provide the details of your volunteer activity:
- Enter the date or date range you volunteered.
- Enter the total number of hours you volunteered for that time period.
- Complete any other fields listed within the application to describe the nature of your volunteer activity.
Review the information for accuracy. Depending on your company’s configuration, you may also see additional questions to answer. When finished, click Save and Proceed.
Step 4: Review and submit
On the next page, carefully review your submission.
- If you need to make corrections, click Make a Change.
- When everything is correct, click Submit to complete your entry.
