I'm not why you couldn't give volunteers, etc. a server to send from and add that IP to your trusted senders for the domain that they use (assuming they're using one of your domains for their email address).
Andrew suggested giving them Google apps accounts. I think it's a great solution--it allows people to use gmail or pretty much any mail client they want.
Yes, that makes sense given that the Foundation already uses Google Apps.
But in an organization like the Foundation, you'll come across volunteers, etc., who would prefer to use Google as little as possible. I make my own attempts at this (which is why I run my own email server for my friends and family).
I think it makes sense to accommodate those Foundation supporters by providing the ability to send email reliably.
I've done this using ReturnPath and my server for some non-profits I work with. It does take some time to set up, but ongoing maintenance is minimal.
