Religious Ties and Investment in Volunteer Management. Next, we considered whether the two groups of charities differ in terms of the investments they have made in the development of their volunteer management programs. Based on average values on the Investments Measure we learned that charities with ties to religious organizations have invested more in volunteer management than charities that do not collaborate with religious organizations.
