Nonprofit Volunteer Media Release Form

Running a nonprofit means telling powerful stories that inspire donors, attract volunteers, and demonstrate impact—and your volunteers are often at the heart of those stories. This Nonprofit Volunteer Media Release Form helps you collect clear, documented consent to feature volunteer photos, videos, quotes, and testimonials across your marketing channels, from social media posts and annual reports to fundraising campaigns and donor newsletters.

Built for nonprofit directors, communications teams, and volunteer coordinators, this template makes it simple to gather the permissions you need while respecting volunteer privacy and preferences. It includes options for volunteers to specify exactly how they'd like to be featured, opt in or out of different types of content, and update their preferences over time—all in one organized, professional form.

Why nonprofits trust Paperform for media releases

With Paperform, you get more than just a consent form. You can match the form to your nonprofit's brand, embed it directly on your volunteer portal or email it as a standalone link, and use conditional logic to show follow-up questions only when relevant. All responses are stored securely and can sync automatically to your CRM, Google Sheets, or Airtable using Stepper workflows, so your team always knows who's opted in and for what.

Plus, if you need volunteers to sign legal agreements or waivers alongside their media consent, you can pair this form with Papersign to collect secure eSignatures and keep everything linked together in one audit trail.

Whether you're capturing stories from a community garden project, a food bank, or a youth mentorship program, this template gives you the flexibility to celebrate your volunteers' contributions while honoring their consent preferences every step of the way.
