VolunteerHub

What VolunteerHub is

VolunteerHub is cloud-based volunteer management software for nonprofits and other organizations. It brings volunteer recruitment, scheduling, hour tracking, supporter communications, and reporting into one platform. Volunteers can choose opportunities and schedule themselves from any device with an internet connection, while organizations can track availability and create recurring schedules. Automated email and text reminders help organizations communicate with volunteers. The mobile apps let volunteers view schedules and check in and out; VolunteerHub is also available on the web.

The platform integrates with Salesforce, Blackbaud CRM solutions, Zapier, Sterling Volunteers, PeopleFacts, Xcelerate Media, Omatic, and Google Analytics GA4. Plans include personalized training, ongoing support, and access to a knowledge base. VolunteerHub was created in 1996 by Dr. Michael Carr, its identified founder and chief executive officer, and is headquartered in Hilliard, Ohio, United States. Paid plans start with Plus at $143 a month, billed annually, plus a set-up fee. Pro is $288 a month on the same billing basis and also has a set-up fee; Enterprise pricing is available by contacting the company. There is no free plan.

Who it suits

VolunteerHub suits nonprofits and other organizations that need to recruit, schedule, and track volunteers, then communicate with supporters and report results. It may fit organizations whose volunteers want to self-schedule and use mobile apps to check in and out.

Limits

Cloud file storage allows files up to 2 MB each, with no limit on the number of files. Volunteer fundraising collects payments in VolunteerHub and charges a processing fee for the feature.
