A framework is presented to test if gender, age, religious affiliation, compassion, altruism, egoism, and religiosity impact on the level of volunteerism of the donor. By using an email survey-method, this study is informed by 612 respondents who donate regularly to charitable institutions. The study finds that religiosity, altruism, and compassion boost the volunteerism level of the donor. The findings suggest that religiosity and religious affiliation positively influence the volunteerism of a donor, and so organisations can successfully look for volunteers among religiously affiliated groups who actively participate in religious services. Altruism and compassion are also important drivers for donor volunteerism and, as a result, organisations can develop volunteering campaigns and messages by portraying them as related to altruistic values and compassionate behaviours. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/030630701504000304","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,3,8]],"date-time":"2017-03-08T10:51:47Z","timestamp":1488970307000},"page":"39-54","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Managing Volunteerism Behaviour: The drivers of donations practices in religious and secular organisations"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"40","author":[{"given":"Madalena E\u00e7a","family":"De Abreu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"ISCAC, Coimbra Business School, Coimbra, Portugal Institute Universit\u00e1rio de Lisboa (ISCTE-IUL), UNIDE, Lisbon, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Raul M.
