The coordination of recruiting, scheduling, tracking, and engaging an organization's volunteers.
Volunteer management encompasses everything involved in mobilizing volunteers effectively: recruiting and onboarding them, scheduling shifts, tracking hours, communicating, and recognizing their contributions. Done well, it turns occasional helpers into committed, long-term supporters.
Volunteers are a substantial source of value. Independent Sector publishes an estimated dollar value of a volunteer hour that many nonprofits use to quantify in-kind labor for reporting and grant applications. Tracking hours accurately is therefore both a management and a fundraising asset.
Volunteers and donors frequently overlap, so managing both relationships in one nonprofit CRM gives a fuller picture of each supporter. Kindly includes volunteer coordination alongside donor and member management in a single platform.
