Volunteers Don't Just Fill Gaps - They Power Progress

At HandsOn Twin Cities, we believe volunteerism isn’t just “nice to have.” It’s essential. Volunteers are the heartbeat of our community — powering nonprofits, strengthening neighborhoods, and building connection across Minnesota.

In a time when nearly 90% of U.S. nonprofits operate on budgets under $500,000 and 85% rely entirely on volunteers, the role of volunteer engagement has never been more critical. Nationwide, volunteers contribute an estimated five billion hours of service each year — $167 billion in impact.

Yet funding for volunteer engagement makes up just half of one percent of total giving, leaving many organizations without the support to recruit, train, and retain the people who make their work possible.

That’s where HandsOn Twin Cities comes in. For more than a century, we’ve connected people and purpose — helping volunteers, nonprofits, and companies work together to create lasting community impact. In the past year alone, we’ve:

• Mobilized 50,000+ volunteers,

• Supported nearly 900 nonprofits and small businesses, and

• Delivered more than 12,000 hours of pro bono service, equating to nearly $1.7 million in capacity-building support.

Your gift fuels this momentum. When you donate to HandsOn Twin Cities, you’re investing in connection, resilience, and opportunity — helping build a community where everyone has the chance to lead, serve, and belong.

Join us in turning action into transformation. Give today — because together, we power progress.
