Great Volunteer Management Tool

The largest benefit is having all volunteer data in one location. With 19 locations, we were previously using different methods across the Association. VolunteerMatters has given us the tool to be able to house everything in one location and make the experience for volunteers the same no matter which location they engage at

PROS

Scheduling and hours tracking to make sure that we are managing volunteers to be the most effective in support of our programs and our organization as a whole

CONS

There are a few features that would be nice to have for both the administrative and end-user aspects. But having said that, the team at VolunteerMatters is great to work with and open to listening to thoughts/ideas/suggestions that may help improve their platform

Reason for choosing VolunteerMatters

VolunteerMatters gave use the best-fitting solution and customizations that would fit the needs we were looking for. It also had the capacity to handle multiple locations with many volunteers with a structure that was easy to set up, easy to manage and allowed flexibility for the volunteer to match their skills with a volunteer role

Vendor Response

Thank you Curtis! We love our YMCA customers. We are so grateful to be working with such a great organization. Thank you for such an awesome endorsement for larger volunteer organizations that have distributed requirements across an enterprise of locations and departments. We like the hard stuff. We are weird like that :P

Easy, Breezy, VolunteerMatters

Overall, VolunteerMatters has been a vast improvement in volunteer management for our city. We are successfully registering new volunteers and keeping track of our hours to report to our governing boards. If a problem arises, we know we will get personal support that will work with us to find a solution.

PROS

The team at VolunteerMatters made what could have been a very time consuming and stressful migration of volunteer management systems a breeze. We were assigned a very kind and helpful staff member to help us learn and troubleshoot during our set up phase, and we were able to learn the system very quickly.

CONS

While the pros far outweigh the cons, there is still room for improvement with VolunteerMatters. In cases like the volunteer shift check in/out process, there could be more admin control created for when accidents happen like volunteers forgetting their VolunteerMatters password or simply forgetting to check in or out. In cases where forgetting happens, the admin cannot manually complete the check in/out, but can only enter the total number of hours worked (which puts more on the admin's plate!).

Reason for choosing VolunteerMatters

We reviewed about five volunteer management systems and chose this option for the accessible real-person support, value of the product use aligning with price, and customization options of fields and projects.

Reasons for switching to VolunteerMatters

Our previous system was not user friendly and was not providing as smooth of an experience as would be expected for the price we paid.

Perfect for our needs

PROS

I appreciate the intuitive, easy to use platform, the plethora of information available in training videos and the help blogs, and the ease of launching the software. I also appreciate the new features that come out periodically, and the people who run VolunteerMatters are so kind to work with. The software took our volunteer program digital and it's been incredibly efficient.

CONS

There truly isn't anything that comes to mind - everything we've had a need for there is an opportunity to find a solution (sometimes associated with a fair cost).

Their support team is very responsive and helpful! [sensitive content hidden] has provided exceptional monthly training and has shown me how to use a lot of the features to make things even easier!!

CONS

The Advanced Contact search I think is sometimes difficult to use.
