Another survey, reported by The Unstuck Group, found that the top 10% of churches in America engage more than 72% of their adult and student attenders in some kind of volunteer role.

Because of this, it is important for churches and other religious establishments to bridge the gap between volunteers and donors. Identifying and leveraging the link between volunteers and donors will help religious organizations avoid missing cross-pollination opportunity.
