Doesn't help you much if you don't do itemized taxes though. (BTW - you can probably recover mileage on your taxes from some of your volunteer cave projects)
I agree with others though - it would have been good to offer discounts or a free pass to the volunteers. Heck, at all the big music festivals you can volunteer a few hours a day in return for a free ticket (bonnaroo, glastonbury, coachella). Simon I am not sure what the UIS rules are about discounts and free admission. However, the NSS has very clear rules that the NSS does not permit volunteers free access to the NSS convention. I say this only to make it clear that this was not something that the ICS organizing committee decided for themselves. For better or worse, the NSS expects its volunteers to give both time and money. And if you deduct your mileage, you generally have to deduct it at the volunteer rate. Philip L.
