When I first arrived at my child advocacy volunteer program, there was nothing in the budget for recognition. I did some research and found a free community volunteer recognition program. Nonprofit agencies nominate volunteers every month. The volunteer's name and story is announced on a local talk radio station, and the volunteer receives a free engraved plaque from a local trophy company. It's great advertising for the radio station and trophy company, and the volunteers love it. This program was organized by the local volunteer center, and was a huge help to non-profits.
