Financial terms were not disclosed. "We're excited to combine VolunteerMatch with Idealist to best serve our community of volunteers, nonprofits, and corporate partners. Our Board believes that the combined scale of these two mission-aligned platforms will ensure we have the talent and the financial resources to build an even more valuable network. In a world that has truly become a global village, we are inspired by the possibilities of connecting millions of people with a wide variety of ways to do good—from helping someone in a few seconds on their phone, to working or volunteering in another country for a month or a year," Robert Savage, VolunteerMatch Board Chair.
