Make a thank-you card for your volunteers

International Volunteer Day is Saturday 5 December, in the UN International Year of Volunteers 2026. Add your name, your number and a line of thanks, and save a card for Instagram, a square post or LinkedIn.

No sign-up. The card is made in your browser, and nothing you type or upload is sent anywhere.

Thank-you card from your organisation. International Volunteer Day · 5 December. Thank you for every shift, every early start and every cuppa you made.

Linking back

If you share your card, a link to this page helps other coordinators make one.

Where to use your card

One card, three sizes. Pick the one that suits where your volunteers will see it.

Post it on the day

Put the Story size up on International Volunteer Day and tag the groups who helped, so they can share it too.

Put it in your end-of-year email

Drop the square card at the top of your last newsletter of the year, above the roster dates for next season.

Thank your corporate teams

The LinkedIn size suits a post thanking a company's staff for their team day. Tag the company so its people see it.

On a phone, save the image, then add it to your Story from your photos. Paste the alt text from under the preview into your post, so people using screen readers know what the card says.

Thank-you card FAQ

Is it free?

Yes. There is no sign-up and no limit on how many cards you make. Each card carries a small PurposeTech mark in the corner.

What happens to what I type and my logo?

Nothing leaves your browser. The card is drawn on your own device, your logo is read from your device and never uploaded, and nothing is saved when you close the page.

What sizes do I get?

Three PNG sizes: an Instagram Story at 1080 × 1920, a square post at 1080 × 1080 and a LinkedIn post at 1200 × 627. On the Story size, text stays clear of the top and bottom of the screen, where Instagram puts its own buttons.

Can I use it outside International Volunteer Day?

Yes. Change the line along the top to suit your event, your season or National Volunteer Week, and keep the rest.

When is International Volunteer Day 2026?

Saturday 5 December 2026. It falls in the International Year of Volunteers for Sustainable Development, which the United Nations named for 2026.
