Tankstation Cultural Filling Point, as a typical example of a cultural non-profit third place, run by volunteers, with unique characteristics, is chosen as a case study. The study applied a qualitative approach, specifically using in-depth interviews, from which the data were analyzed using thematic coding in ATLAS.ti. Factors such as volunteer motivation, satisfaction, retention, commitment, and incentives were explored. Findings indicate that the success in retaining volunteers could be influenced by three main organizational factors: Being able to create a safe and inclusive community, the organizational culture of recognition, and the organization’s offer of programs and opportunities for growth.
