Business Volunteers Unlimited
BVU envisions a vibrant and inclusive community through business volunteerism.
WHAT WE DO
Business Volunteers Unlimited (BVU) is a Northeast Ohio-based organization whose mission is to engage, connect, and strengthen businesses, nonprofits, and the community. BVU’s variety of services and events provide a ‘one-stop shop’ for business community engagement and nonprofit capacity-building.

We CONNECT through nonprofit board matching, skills-based volunteering, direct-service volunteer coordination, and business team projects.

We EDUCATE through events, seminars, and resources focused on community engagement, nonprofit capacity building, diversity and inclusion, and more.

We CONSULT nonprofits on board governance, strategic planning, and much more. We provide businesses with insight into corporate community engagement.
INCLUSION, DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND ACCESSIBILITY
In order to achieve our vision of a vibrant and inclusive community through business volunteerism, Business Volunteers Unlimited (BVU) will be a more informed and inclusive voice in Northeast Ohio with inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility (IDEA) as core values. BVU will commit to transparency and innovation in our decision-making and embrace feedback. Collectively, we will lead in a transformative way by welcoming and attracting diverse people, ideas, and partnerships for an equitable future. We will strive to embed IDEA into our culture, our strategic plan, and our work with businesses, nonprofits, volunteers, and the community.
