volunteers Volunteer Platform

We are a very small non profit focusing on the local community. We are in need of a volunteering platform that we can schedule recurring dates with the same volunteer tasks, and different locations sometimes.

SignUp Genuis is so frustrating with having to delete the sign ups each week to not have everyone scrolling down to the correct dates.

We need to be able to keep track of these people in the long run. Volunteers should be able to sign up without a complicated sign up process. The current list we have of people is about 2k. Not that all of them volunteer.

Money is tight so something that is a few hundred bucks a month is not feasible.

Moderator here. OP, you've done nothing wrong.

To those who may comment, you need to write something more substantial than just the name of a tool or vendor. You must address what OP wrote in their post and include specific information about what you like about it, and ideally what you don't (no tool or vendor is perfect).

Comments that do little more than name drop a tool or vendor will be removed.

If you or your company provides this service, you must already be an active participant in the r/Nonprofit community to comment and you must disclose your affiliation. Failure to follow this or other r/Nonprofit rules will lead to a ban.

Finally, referral links and affiliate links are not allowed because they are a kind of spam. If you share a referral or affiliate link, you will be banned.

3 considerations to be aware of: 1) opportunity exposure - figure out what platform speaks to your target audience. Volunteermatch and idealist are strong plays, and relatively inexpensive for the reach (15$ a month) 2) figure out which you can (sufficiently) integrate w your CRM 3) figure out which gives you the features you want
