is to implement a quality management system with the following features:

There are more and more volunteering opportunities and agencies offering quality certificates. Many volunteer employers and placement agencies are already engaged in a systematic effort to assure and develop the quality of their services. While mere in-house evaluation is not enough to showcase the quality of an agency's services in public, general standards are necessary to make these quality measures transparent and comparable to others.

A Quifd certificate is issued in recognition for meeting these quality standards. It serves various purposes - not only does it help people who are still undecided on volunteering long-term, it also enables public authorities, grant-making organisations, and the general public to get a broad overview of the volunteering market. The certificate is therefore also of benefit to organisations that employ volunteers.
