Core offering

VolunteerLocal provides a cloud-based volunteer management SaaS platform that enables organizations to recruit, screen, schedule, communicate with, and track volunteers. The platform supports both ongoing program-based volunteer operations and episodic event-based deployments (such as races, festivals, and conferences) through customizable registration forms, background checks, automated scheduling, email/SMS communication, hours tracking, and reporting.

Product overview

VolunteerLocal is a cloud-based volunteer management SaaS platform offered in three pricing tiers (Discover, Grow, and Enterprise). The platform is built around four core feature modules that work as an integrated system: (1) Volunteer Database — for collecting, storing, and managing volunteer information including custom registration forms, applicant vetting, background screens, and waivers; (2) Volunteer Communication — for email and SMS outreach via broadcast messaging, automated triggers, scheduled reminders, and template personalization with smart tags; (3) Scheduling & Volunteer Experience — for job/shift creation, landing pages, calendar widget embedding, passwordless volunteer access, group volunteering, and a mobile app (iOS/Android); and (4) Tracking & Reporting — for hours/attendance tracking (five methods), data export, and custom reports. Add-on features such as CRM integrations (Salesforce, LGL, DonorPerfect, NeonCRM), file library, email attachments, and data import are available at higher tiers. The platform serves both program-based (ongoing) and event-based (one-time) organizations.
