VolunteerHub for Nonprofits

Create a branded volunteer portal where supporters can view your opportunity calendar, filter by date or interest, and register themselves for shifts. Volunteers see available slots, sign up instantly, and receive confirmation emails—no coordinator involvement required. They can also manage their own profiles, update availability, and cancel or swap shifts through the platform.

Set up automated reminders that go out before shifts, follow-up thank-you messages after completion, and re-engagement campaigns for inactive volunteers. Text messaging capabilities ensure urgent communications reach volunteers even when they're not checking email. Customize templates to match your organization's voice and branding.

Volunteers check in from their phones when they arrive and check out when they leave—hours are calculated and logged automatically. For on-site management, VolunteerHub's OnSite feature provides kiosk-based check-in stations. Coordinators see real-time attendance data: who's arrived, who's running late, and actual hours contributed.

VolunteerHub's standout feature is direct integration with Salesforce and all Blackbaud CRM solutions. When volunteers register, their profiles sync to your CRM. When they complete shifts, hours appear in constituent records automatically. Development teams see complete supporter engagement—volunteer hours alongside donation history—enabling more effective cultivation.

Volunteers complete liability waivers with e-signatures during online registration—no paper, no scanning, no lost documents. For roles requiring screening, VolunteerHub integrates with background check providers. The system tracks completion status and can automatically remind volunteers when renewals are needed.

Generate reports showing total hours, number of volunteers, estimated value of contributed time, and program-specific metrics. Standard reports cover common needs; custom reporting lets you slice data by date range, program, volunteer demographics, and more. Google Analytics integration tracks volunteer portal traffic and conversion. Export data for deeper analysis or grant reporting.

Track volunteer milestones and trigger recognition: identify volunteers reaching hour thresholds, generate reports for award ceremonies, and celebrate contributions systematically. Recognition improves retention—volunteers who feel valued keep coming back.

All VolunteerHub plans include unlimited events and unlimited administrators. You're not penalized for having a robust volunteer program or needing multiple staff members with access. This pricing model makes budgeting predictable and supports growth without unexpected costs.

Custom pricing (contact for quotes). Strong Salesforce integration, mobile app, and multi-location support. Trusted by United Way and Habitat for Humanity. Best for larger organizations or volunteer centers needing enterprise features—but requires a sales conversation to get pricing.
