Online volunteering has been adopted by thousands of nonprofit organizations and other initiatives.[1] There is no organization currently tracking best practices in online volunteering in the USA or worldwide, how many people are engaged in online volunteering, or how many organizations utilize online volunteers, and studies regarding volunteering, such as reports on volunteering trends in the USA, rarely include information about online volunteering (for example, a search of the term virtual volunteering on the Corporation for National Service's "Volunteering in America" yields no results.[22] On IVCO's Forum Discussion Paper 2015[23] it is recommended that a collective measurement tool developed as part of a global measurement framework should also capture online volunteering.
