Probably a bad idea, especially for those with formal status (e.g. 501(c)3). Volunteers could be rewarded from donations (e.g. pizza) even if all the donations are used, but some sort of independent discretion should be involved. And, direct cash distributions look bad to IRS
and state employment regulators.

How do you guys feel about tip jars? A volunteer at bike farm recently put one out during a shift. 

Without analyzing this in too much depth I would say "no".  I could see it being confused for a donation jar causing possible consternation from a donor.
