I can’t help but wonder if their methods are similar to how VolunteerMatch measures its impact and results , although VolunteerMatch does not receive the same scale of foundation funding as nonprofits in this sample.

Varied methods of virtual and transparent communication. Meetings are a regular part of work routine.
