In-Kind Volunteer Hours Valuation Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

A funder asks for the dollar value of volunteer time and you rebuild the number from spreadsheets each time. This agent classifies logged hours by skill level, such as general labor, skilled professional or board service, and applies the rate table you choose. It checks the hours against attendance records and flags duplicates, impossible days and missing roles. It compares the total with the last period, and if it changes by more than your set percent, it investigates by program and period before reporting. You approve the figures before they go into any report. Edge case: hours entered for both an event and a shift that overlap are flagged as duplicates and counted once.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

It values each hour by role class using the selected rate table and excludes duplicates and hours without a record.

  • Count only hours with an attendance record
  • Use one rate table for the whole report
  • Investigate when the total changes by more than 15%
  • Count overlapping entries once

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Rate table used (default a published national rate)
  • Skill classes
  • Change threshold (default 15%)
  • Report layout

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Coordinator approves figures before they go into any report

Hard limits

  • Never invent hours or rates
  • Never send figures to a funder itself

It stops when

  • Done: figures approved
  • Stop: hours records are incomplete for a program

An example run

What happensFor Q2 the agent classified 4,120 hours and removed 86 duplicates. Total value came to $127,300, up 31% from Q1, which tripped the 15% check. It traced the rise to a new tax clinic with 600 skilled hours. The explanation was added to the summary and the coordinator approved it.
