Mileage for Volunteers

12/16/2022

1 Comment

 
The Idaho Nonprofit Center ​has signed onto a national letter with the National Council of Nonprofits, Independent Sector, and Meals on Wheels USA asking the Senate to take action on the charitable volunteer mileage rate. 
This rate has not been updated since it was fixed at 14 cents per mile in 1997. In that time, the business mileage rate has doubled, and the price of gasoline has tripled. Also, the IRS and some states actually impose income taxes on volunteer drivers who receive expense reimbursements from nonprofits in excess of 14 cents/mile. Changing the current rate will help volunteer drivers who give back to their communities through charitable nonprofits.

The urgency for action relates to the fact that volunteers have not returned to charitable organizations in pre-pandemic numbers due in part to very high gas prices. The lack of sufficient numbers of volunteers means nonprofits cannot keep up with current demand for services, much less cope with the steadily rising demand for support. This is a particularly egregious challenge in rural areas where driving distances are farther, and the pool of available volunteers is smaller.

​Thank you to National Council of Nonprofits and Nonprofit Association of Oregon for content and copy inspiration.

IVC's volunteers have provided almost 100,000 miles of transportation to help elderly, disabled, and chronically ill individuals get Access to Healthcare and essential errands in 2022. Our volunteers have endure the high gas miles through 2022, however, our ability to recruit more volunteers is hindered by the difference in the volunteer and federal business rate mileage reimbursement.

Idaho continues to see higher gas prices than our surrounding states.

Non-Profit organizations have endured so must over the last few years with the impact of COVID and the continuing uncertainty of the endemic, the flu, and RSV. The most vulnerable population is the elderly and those who are chronically ill. Providing a life-line to the volunteers will help ensure available and reliable help to maintain safety and self-reliance.
