A Note About Reported Hours
Volunteers’ reported hours are categorized based on where and how they find opportunities:
Company-Promoted Hours – These come from opportunities listed on Volunteer Link, which the company encourages volunteers to respond to. Anytime a volunteer clicks on an opportunity on Volunteer Link and completes it, those hours are tracked as company-promoted.
Self-Sourced Hours – These come from opportunities the volunteer finds independently on the GC website, outside of Volunteer Link. Hours from these responses are tracked as self-sourced, reflecting volunteer initiative.
How it works in practice:
Volunteer clicks on an opportunity on Volunteer Link and responds on a Get Connected website. They then submit hours for that Opportunity, which = company-promoted.
Volunteer browses a Get Connected website on their own and responds to another opportunity. They then submit hours for that Opportunity, which = self-sourced.
This helps admins see which hours were driven by company guidance and which were initiated by the volunteers themselves.
These may be found in Users Report, Causes Report, or Activity by Nonprofit Report.
