95% of non-profits need more skilled labor. Managing volunteers is a lot of work. Companies use micro-volunteering to deepen employees engagement.

Facts tell, stories that touch people's hearts sell. As a non-profit that tries to engage its audience, it's easy to quote facts and figures.

If you're stuck on what to write, don't despair. Check out Katya's Non-Profit Marketing Blog. http://www.nonprofitmarketingblog.com
