The Points of Light Foundation & Volunteer Center National Network, working with a committee of its business members, created the The Principles of Excellence: An Employee Volunteer Program Assessment to establish a set of standards for effective and sustainable employee volunteer programs (EVP). The Principles has been used by hundreds of businesses and corporations as guidelines they could use in shaping their EVPs. Further, these Principles have served as the criteria for the Points of Light’s Awards for Excellence in Workplace Volunteer Programs, a prestigious award that attracts dozens of nominations annually. The Principles of Excellence have become widely accepted as a national standard, and the Points of Light Foundation & Volunteer Center National Network have created an online tool that allows organizations to visually assess their progress against this standard.
The Principles of Excellence comprise three broad components that are equally important in defining a quality EVP program: Commit, Target, and Acknowledge.
