Point Nonprofit Discount & Pricing

Point is an all-in-one volunteer discovery and management platform that combines a public-facing volunteer app (where community members find opportunities) with comprehensive backend management tools (for nonprofits to organize, communicate with, and track volunteers), enabling organizations to recruit, schedule, engage, and measure volunteer impact through a mobile-first experience that achieves a 97% volunteer attendance rate—serving 6,000+ nonprofits with a powerful free tier and affordable paid plans designed specifically for nonprofit budgets and workflows.

Point's core capabilities address the complete volunteer lifecycle from recruitment to retention through integrated features accessible to both volunteers and staff. The public volunteer discovery app allows community members to browse opportunities by location, cause, skills, and availability without requiring nonprofit staff to manually match volunteers, the self-service scheduling lets volunteers sign up for shifts, view their upcoming commitments, and receive automatic reminders via push notifications and email to reduce no-shows, the mobile check-in enables volunteers to clock in/out via smartphone GPS verification to accurately track hours without paper sign-in sheets or manual entry, the automated communication tools send personalized messages, shift reminders, thank-you notes, and re-engagement campaigns based on volunteer behavior and preferences, the volunteer hub provides each participant a personalized profile showing their hours, impact, upcoming shifts, and recognition milestones, the event management creates one-time or recurring volunteer opportunities with customizable roles, required skills, capacity limits, and scheduling options, the group management organizes volunteers into teams, committees, or programs with role-based permissions and targeted communications, the impact tracking measures volunteer hours, attendance rates, retention metrics, and program outcomes through visual dashboards and exportable reports, the background check integration streamlines volunteer screening through partnerships with verification providers (Pro plan), the document library stores waivers, training materials, and policies that volunteers can access and sign electronically (Pro plan), the offline time tracking allows manual hour entry for activities not tied to scheduled shifts, the donation integrations connect volunteer engagement with fundraising platforms to convert volunteers into donors, the calendar view displays all upcoming shifts, events, and volunteer commitments in a unified timeline, the website integration embeds volunteer opportunities directly on nonprofit websites so visitors can sign up without leaving the site, the admin dashboard provides real-time visibility into volunteer pipeline, upcoming shifts, and organizational metrics, and the priority support ensures nonprofit staff receive timely help when managing volunteers (Pro plan).

For nonprofits, Point solves the volunteer no-show problem, manual coordination burden, and engagement tracking challenges faced by organizations that rely on volunteers but struggle with attendance, administrative overhead, and demonstrating impact: food banks can recruit volunteers directly through the app by listing upcoming shifts that appear when community members search "food assistance near me," send automatic shift reminders 24 hours before service to reduce last-minute cancellations from 40% to 3%, and track total volunteer hours by program for grant reporting without manually counting sign-in sheets, animal shelters can segment volunteers by skills (dog walking, cat socialization, event support) and send targeted communications to the right groups without manually filtering contact lists, youth organizations can create recurring tutoring shifts where mentors sign up for the same time slot weekly and receive calendar invites that sync to Google Calendar or Outlook, environmental nonprofits can manage episodic volunteers for cleanup events through the free tier with unlimited volunteers and events without paying per-volunteer fees that penalize growth, community organizations can convert event volunteers into recurring supporters by automatically sending "your next opportunity" messages after shift completion, advocacy groups can demonstrate grassroots support by showing total volunteer hours and participation metrics in grant proposals and board reports generated from Point dashboards, multi-site nonprofits can coordinate volunteers across locations with shared calendar visibility and location-specific scheduling, small nonprofits with limited staff can automate volunteer communications (confirmations, reminders, thank-yous) that previously required manual emails or phone calls for every shift, volunteer coordinators can spend less time on administrative logistics and more time on meaningful relationship-building because scheduling, check-in, and hour tracking happen automatically through the app, and all nonprofits benefit from the fact that Point is designed specifically for nonprofit needs with pricing starting free forever (Core plan with unlimited admins and volunteers) or $99/month for Pro features like background checks and document storage—enabling organizations to professionalize volunteer management without enterprise software costs while achieving industry-leading 97% volunteer show rates through mobile-first design that meets volunteers where they are.
