Public

The world seriously needs a bank for volunteers, or at least a LOT more organizations with credit cards for up front purchases to be reimbursed.

My wife and I volunteer with four organizations and like many volunteers, regularly front anywhere from a few hundred dollars to a record of $7500 per event and the reimbursements can take months to process.

On one level this model provides a great check and balance for say, speakers who do not show up for events and will not be reimbursed for travel, but for consistent volunteers it is simply cruel.
