Giving Tuesday and Our Remote Nonprofit Jobs Industry Guide

In celebration of Giving Tuesday, Virtual Vocations is giving back! We’re offering our Nonprofit Industry Guide free of charge to remote jobseekers searching for their ideal nonprofit position.

What Is Giving Tuesday?

Giving Tuesday, often stylized as #GivingTuesday in honor of the movement’s strong social media presence, is an annual global generosity event. Celebrated the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving, the event invites us to do good amidst the hustle and bustle of the holiday shopping season. To acknowledge and support organizations that foster goodness and positive change in our local communities and around the world.

Remote Work and the Nonprofit Industry

With the rise of telecommuting in the workforce, a greater number of nonprofit organizations embrace remote work by incorporating home-based workers with their traditional staff or by transitioning on-site roles to virtual ones — great news for the nonprofit professional seeking an improved work-life balance or more integrated work-life model. This trend among nonprofits is noted by The National Council of Nonprofits. The council offers information, resources, and management pointers for employers interested in embracing more flexible work arrangements, like telecommuting, into their organizations.

Professionals in the nonprofit sector are typically thought to be part of the organization’s administrative, operational, or management staff. However, many remote professionals have specialties in other industries and tend to apply those skills into their remote nonprofit jobs. In fact, 81 percent of nonprofit jobs involve the health, education, and social assistance sectors, according to The 2019 Nonprofit Employment Report from the Johns Hopkins Center for Civil Society Studies. Therefore, professionals in these industries can choose to work in the nonprofit sector while still pursuing their original passions and enjoying greater professional and personal flexibility.
