Business Volunteers Unlimited

2008 Annual Report

In 2008, BVU celebrated 15 years of linking over 350 businesses to 2,000 nonprofit organizations in Northeast Ohio. These impressive numbers can be attributed to the vision of our founders, the support of foundations, strong partnerships with businesses and nonprofits and the dedication of BVU Board and staff members. In BVU's 2008 Annual Report you will see indicators such as nonprofit board elections, consultations and volunteer referrals that give you a sense of the magnitude of the impact on our community. What really matters, however, is what is behind the numbers. People are connected to meaningful volunteer opportunities, businesses are able to engage with the community and nonprofits have access to professional expertise to address their unique issues. Looking forward, there is still much to do. BVU will continue to grow and provide practical and innovative services that strengthen nonprofits' ability to achieve their missions.
