The Expanded Value Added Statement Accounting for the Value Added by Volunteers Laurie Mook OISE/University of Toronto April 21, 2004
Overview of Presentation • Value Added and Expanded Value Added • The Expanded Value Added Statement • Case Study of Canadian Red Cross, Toronto Region
What is Value Added? • Value added is an indicator of organizational performance • It measures the wealth that an organization creates by “adding value” to raw materials, products and services through the use of labour and capital

Calculation of Value Added • Value of services – Materials/Outside Services Purchased = Value Added OR • Materials/Outside Services Purchased + Value Added = Value of Services
What is Expanded Value Added? • Value added by itself does not tell the whole story • Volunteers add value too • Expanded Value Added combines financial and social data to give a fuller picture of the social and economic impact of an organization
The Expanded Value Added Statement • Combines financial and social information to show the value addedcreated by an organization and how that value added is distributed to different stakeholders
IYV Volunteer Value Added Project • Calculated the value added by and for volunteers at four nonprofits: • Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, Ontario Chapter • Canadian Crossroads International • Canadian Red Cross, Toronto Region • Jane/Finch Community and Family Centre • Calculated the value added by and for volunteers at four nonprofits: • Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, Ontario Chapter • Canadian Crossroads International • Canadian Red Cross, Toronto Region • Jane/Finch Community and Family Centre
Key Findings • 1,506 volunteers contributed an estimated 63,568 hours in the year of the study, or 32.6 full-time equivalents (FTE)
Key Findings • The volunteers in this study contributed $98,218 in non-reimbursed out-of-pocket expenses
Key Findings • The organization created value by providing opportunities for skills development and personal growth • The estimated market value for volunteers’ personal growth and development was $121,791
Key Findings: Personal Growth and Development Total number of volunteers: 1,506 Percentage of respondents who indicated strongly that they benefited from personal growth and development by volunteering for this organization this year: 53.38% Average cost of community college course for personal growth and development: $151.50 1,506 x 53.38% x $151.50 = $121,791
Key Points • The Expanded Value Added Statement takes a broader look at an organization • integrates social and financial information • takes a stakeholder approach • the particular example in this presentation highlights the role of volunteers, but it can be modified to include other social and environmental impacts • provides a fuller picture of an organization’s economic and social impact
To Think About • Are we choosing the right indicators? • What else can be added? • What are the pros and cons of putting a value on volunteer contributions? • How does this help nonprofit organizations? • What about ‘value subtracted’?
