VolunteerMatters Software

Founded in 2003, Closerware is a developer of Web-based nonprofit management software. Its flagship product, VolunteerMatters, is used by corporations, schools, governments, member-based organizations and nonprofits to recruit, coordinate and track volunteers.

Within this platform, volunteer managers can create opportunities and available shifts, then assign volunteers to specific tasks. Using stored volunteer data, including contact information, skills, interests and engagement status, managers can also filter data to generate lists of volunteers that best match an opportunity’s requirements. These volunteers can then be contacted either individually or via bulk email.

Additionally, volunteers can self-manage their profiles within VolunteerMatters, so organizations maintain accurate contact data. Volunteers can also search for and review advertised opportunities, then sign up for activities and shifts and receive automated email confirmations and reminders.

VolunteerMatters also tracks volunteer attendance and participation details. Using its built-in report templates and custom-reporting tools, organizations can report on volunteer schedules, activity and history at any time.
