My thoughts are that if you expect volunteers to take the time to help you, you should make the effort to use correct capitalization and punctuation. I'm not sure what word to suggest, because I don't see how anyone benefits from wasted time.

Thank you for your response!

Firstly, let me apologize for not using proper punctuation.

Secondly. allow me to round out a thought I had put to typing before i could organize and structure it best.

My quandary is this...(please fill in the blank) If a person saves money he gains financially...if he saves time he gains _______. Is there even a word for this? Sho

One possible word is "temporally."

Have a look at the word temporal. It has two meanings. One of them relates to religion, and the other is of or relating to time.
The adverbial form is temporally.

But you could live your life without hearing this word..

? ... the client benefited by saving time as well as money.
? ... the client benefited not only financially but in terms of efficiencies of time.

There is no adverb parallel to "financially" that is going to sound convincing.

An old adage says that time is money so you may say: If a person saves money, they gain financially; if a person saves time they make money.
