    This study identifies the factors affecting volunteer retention and engagement. A dearth of research has focused on volunteering for not-for-profit organisations. These organisations are involved particularly in raising funds through public benevolence. There have been rising trends of not-for-profit organisations around the world while the number of volunteers decreases. Information on the factors influencing volunteer retention and engagement is expected to support the management of not-for-profit community services. Therefore, this study uses a case study of a not-for-profit organisation to identify the factors contributing to volunteer retention and engagement. The interview data is analysed using thematic data analysis. Benightedness, communication, management support, volunteer skills and volunteer participation in management decision making are associated with volunteer retention and engagement. These findings are expected to enhance the operation process of not-for-profit Community Fund Management Organisations. Future research is suggested to enhance the management of volunteers in other types of not-for-profit organisations.
