# Best Volunteer Management Software - Page 7 *By [Emma Stein](https://research.g2.com/insights/author/emma-stein)* Most not-for-profit organizations rely on volunteer work to maintain parts of their operations. Volunteer management software helps nonprofits find and retain volunteers. Taking into account that volunteers do not have a contractual commitment with the organizations, nonprofits need to make sure that they have a large enough pool of volunteers who are motivated to support them. Each department of a nonprofit organization can use volunteers, and therefore it is critical to source the right person for the right activity. This type of software integrates with [nonprofit CRM](https://www.g2.com/categories/nonprofit-crm) in order to assign volunteers to sales or marketing activities. Other integrations may be required with [event management](https://www.g2.com/categories/event-management) software or online communication tools (email, social media, messaging, etc.) To qualify for inclusion in the Volunteer Management category, a product must: - Manage volunteer information such as contact details, availability, skills sets, interests, and causes they care about - Provide portals for volunteers to register to a generic pool of resources or to specific activities and programs - Match volunteers with available activities based on their profiles and assign them to the right team or department - Track volunteer activity and efficiency - Identify and engage with loyal volunteers ## Top Volunteer Management Software at a Glance | # | Product | Rating | Best For | What Users Say | |---|---------|--------|----------|----------------| | 1 | [Volunteer Impact by Better Impact](https://www.g2.com/products/volunteer-impact-by-better-impact/reviews) | 4.7/5.0 (139 reviews) | End-to-end volunteer lifecycle tracking and reporting | "[Intuitive, Customisable Volunteer Tracking with Excellent Support](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/volunteer-impact-by-better-impact-review-12348868)" | | 2 | [Agentforce Nonprofit (formerly Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud)](https://www.g2.com/products/agentforce-nonprofit-formerly-salesforce-nonprofit-cloud/reviews) | 4.1/5.0 (82 reviews) | Nonprofit volunteer and donor tracking, Salesforce-native | "[Effortless Donation and Volunteer Tracking](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/agentforce-nonprofit-formerly-salesforce-nonprofit-cloud-review-11844107)" | | 3 | [POINT](https://www.g2.com/products/point-point/reviews) | 4.7/5.0 (83 reviews) | Event-based volunteer coordination and hour tracking | "[Easy Volunteer Tracking with a Great Admin Dashboard and POINT Help](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/point-review-13036882)" | | 4 | [Neon CRM](https://www.g2.com/products/neon-one-llc-neon-crm/reviews) | 4.2/5.0 (428 reviews) | Unified volunteer, donor, and event tracking | "[Intuitive CRM with Powerful Dashboards and Room to Grow](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/neon-crm-review-12562784)" | | 5 | [Microsoft Cloud for Nonprofits](https://www.g2.com/products/microsoft-cloud-for-nonprofits/reviews) | 4.5/5.0 (18 reviews) | Nonprofit volunteer and donor database operations | "[I have experienced Microsoft 365 which is very helpful in accessing the dashboard.](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/microsoft-cloud-for-nonprofits-review-9061383)" | | 6 | [NationBuilder](https://www.g2.com/products/nationbuilder/reviews) | 4.2/5.0 (107 reviews) | Integrated volunteer and donor mobilization workflows | "[NationBuilder is worth considering!](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/nationbuilder-review-9896664)" | | 7 | [SignUpGenius](https://www.g2.com/products/signupgenius/reviews) | 4.4/5.0 (135 reviews) | Self-service volunteer shift signup with automated reminders | "[Use SignUpGenius to easily get the volunteers you need](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/signupgenius-review-8242344)" | | 8 | [Giveffect](https://www.g2.com/products/giveffect/reviews) | 4.1/5.0 (63 reviews) | Unified volunteer and donor tracking with cross-departmental visibility | "[Giveffect has all the bells and whistles!](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/giveffect-review-11733532)" | | 9 | [Bonterra EveryAction](https://www.g2.com/products/bonterra-everyaction/reviews) | 4.3/5.0 (280 reviews) | Volunteer-to-donor engagement pipeline with VAN integration | "[It's a powerful tool that could use additional features and bug fixes.](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/bonterra-everyaction-review-11668577)" | | 10 | [Churchteams](https://www.g2.com/products/churchteams/reviews) | 4.7/5.0 (112 reviews) | Text-to-church volunteer scheduling with automated reminders | "[Transformative Church Management Tool with Exceptional Support](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/churchteams-review-1627838)" | ## G2 Grid® for Volunteer Management Software ![G2 Grid® for Volunteer Management Software plotting products by satisfaction and market presence](https://www.g2.com/categories/volunteer-management/grids.png?focus%5B%5D=14497&focus%5B%5D=51407&focus%5B%5D=164837&focus%5B%5D=4435&focus%5B%5D=1237998&focus%5B%5D=4436&focus%5B%5D=10693&focus%5B%5D=14685) Highlighted products: Volunteer Impact by Better Impact, Agentforce Nonprofit (formerly Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud), POINT, Neon CRM, Microsoft Cloud for Nonprofits, NationBuilder, Giveffect, and SignUpGenius.

Volunteer management software drives the volunteer operations portion of nonprofits’ activities. Nonprofit organizations rely on volunteer efforts to operate successfully. Spreadsheets and paper documents are products of a bygone era, so volunteer management solutions have stepped into the void to improve the efficiency and effectiveness with which volunteers are managed. Volunteer management software carries out organization-to-volunteer communication, manages volunteer-staffed events, improves visibility into volunteer activities and effectiveness, and ultimately increases the return on investment that the nonprofit organization gets from its volunteers. Key Benefits of Volunteer Management Software - Improve volunteer program engagement - Increase volunteer productivity - Manage volunteering events - Analyze volunteering efforts ### Why Use Volunteer Management Software? Volunteer management software is vital to soliciting volunteers and managing the efforts of those volunteers without disrupting your organization. **Volunteer Engagement —** A well-organized volunteer program can drive higher volunteer engagement with the organization, bringing new volunteers on board, and maintain strong relationships with existing volunteers. **Increase Volunteership —** Ensuring that there is a significant pipeline of qualified volunteer talent is key to running a strong volunteer program. The communication tools provided by volunteer management software can make sure that’s the case. **Improve Organization —** Organizing schedules, tracking hours, promoting volunteer opportunities, and communicating with volunteers both before and after their participation are all important aspects of volunteer management. Volunteer management solutions handle these tasks and more, providing users with a centralized dashboard through which they can run their program. ### Who Uses Volunteer Management Software? Nonprofit organizations are the primary users of volunteer management software. They often rely on volunteers to carry out tasks vital to the organization and rely on volunteer management software as a centralized hub for all activity related to volunteer operations. Employees tasked with organizing volunteer efforts as well as volunteers themselves are the two largest user bases within the nonprofit sphere. Volunteers use the application to keep up to date on volunteering opportunities, sign up for those opportunities, check on schedules, and more. ### Volunteer Management Software Features Volunteer management software may include, but is not limited to, the following features: **Mobility —** Mobile access to volunteer management software features. Mobile versions of the application typically include a portal from which employees and volunteers can access the majority of feature applications. **Time Tracking —** Much like regular time tracking software, this feature allows organizations to track volunteer hours. **Reporting —** This feature may include the creation of customizable reports, which can drive impact assessment activities and shape volunteer management strategy. **Digital Marketing —** Marketing opportunities to volunteers or potential volunteers is key to getting more people involved. This feature may include email marketing functionality and acts as another boon to the organization’s marketing efforts. **Opportunity Posting —** This is like a job board, where volunteer opportunities are posted. Volunteers can look at these and choose the most applicable ones. **Volunteer Profiles —** This is the central hub from where a volunteer can control all of their activities. Company employees can look at these profiles to track high-performing and frequently active volunteers. #### Additional Volunteer Management Software Features **Recruitment Tools —** These tools can include email campaigns and specific recruitment landing pages designed to bring new volunteers onboard. **Training Management —** Training is a vital part of volunteer management, and this piece of functionality allows people to manage the entirety of the training process. **Access Management —** This feature controls individual user permissions and access levels to the application. ### Trends Related to Volunteer Management Software As the nonprofit world develops, so too does the volunteer management world.

To capitalize on this trend, volunteer management solutions are offering mobile access to both organizers and volunteers. This is especially important when it comes to organizing in-the-field efforts such as events. ### Software and Services Related to Volunteer Management Software Volunteer management software integrates directly with many different types of nonprofit software to provide users with the ability to build a comprehensive set of solutions to run their organization.
