Give Back Iowa is an eight-week challenge that runs from April 1 through May 31 each year to engage Iowans in employer-supported volunteering, both during and outside of the workday. There is no cost to register or participate; and, it doesn’t matter whether an employer has a formal volunteer program or how many employees there are – ANY employer in Iowa can compete (for profit, nonprofit, and government organizations). You can participate as an entire organization or by location if you have multiple sites.
Employers register in advance to participate and indicate whether they wish to be included in pre-challenge media releases. Volunteer hours are reported through a simple online report. Nonprofits can participate in the Challenge as employers and are encouraged to invite the local businesses who may provide them with volunteers to register as well.
