VolunteerLocal
What it is
VolunteerLocal is an online platform for organizing volunteer schedules, communications and activity records. It supports ongoing programs with daily, weekly or monthly shifts, as well as one-time events such as races and fundraisers. Organizations can collect, search, update and export volunteer information, while volunteers can update their own records. Teams can customize landing pages and place a calendar widget on their own websites to display opportunities. The service tracks activity, attendance and hours, and offers custom reports. Communication tools include email, SMS, automated messages, smart tags, filters and delivery statistics. Volunteers can use Android or iOS apps to select shifts, check schedules and cancel, subject to administrator settings. Listed CRM integrations include Salesforce, Little Green Light, DonorPerfect and NeonCRM. Plans include onboarding and unlimited email, video and phone support. A 14-day trial is available without a credit card to start, but there is no free plan. Ongoing-program Discover pricing is $600 a year; single-event Discover is $200, paid once. The service also offers Grow and Enterprise plans at listed prices, while Enterprise ongoing-program pricing is by inquiry.
