Doesn't Jive

Why do I keep hearing about volunteer programs being canceled due to lack of funds?

For just one example, yesterday's paper had a headline about lack of funds resulting in the cancellation of some programs that require students to volunteer to do community service. (Hey, looky there: the previous sentence has TWO -- not just one but two -- examples of oxymoronic action.)

What COST is there to an organization (or the government) for VOLUNTEERS to do work? I think there must be some bureaucracy somewhere that benefits financially from volunteerism. Otherwise, this makes no sense.
