## The benefits of volunteer management software

-   **Better accountability:** The software offers centralized storage of volunteer participation records. This allows for quick access to records for tracing back operational details such as who worked on what task and the time spent, which helps in establishing accountability of actions performed by volunteers.
    
-   **Increased efficiency:** The software automates workflows involved in volunteer management, such as tracking participation time and scheduling. This frees up time for organization staff to focus on other tasks.
    
-   **Improved participation:** Tracking participation details and feedback can provide organizations insights into volunteer behavior and help identify the interests of different volunteers. This, in turn, can help develop new opportunities, determine what attracts prospects, and capture accurate referrals.
    

* * *

## Typical features of volunteer management software

-   **Membership management:** Identify prospects, capture participation requests, and maintain a database of already enrolled volunteers. 
-   **Scheduling:** Determine volunteer availability and assign them tasks and time slots accordingly. 
-   **Event management:** Schedule and handle different activities, such as logistics, related to events.
    
-   **Self-service portal:** Provide volunteers a gateway to access the system.
    
-   **Calendar management:** Create and manage long-term plans (weekly, monthly, or yearly) for events involving volunteers. 
-   **Member directory:** Create an online or printable list/directory of all volunteers.
    

* * *

## The cost of volunteer management software

Most products in this market are priced on a "per user per month" basis and can be divided into the following three pricing tiers based on their starting price.

**Price ranges\*:**

-   $8 - $16
    
-   $16 - $55
    
-   $55+
    

_\*The pricing included is for the entry-level/lowest-priced offering that was found on vendor websites on Nov 20, 2019. These ranges correspond to the 25th, 75th, and 100th percentile of the pricing information gathered from vendor websites of sample products._

The above list summarizes pricing for the base plans of most products. An enterprise or premium product, which is priced higher, may include additional features such as task management and client management.

* * *

## Considerations when purchasing volunteer management software

-   **Number of volunteers:** Most available tools for managing volunteers structure pricing tiers based on the number of volunteers enrolled. This means that as your volunteer requirements grow to scale to operational needs, the cost of the tool increases. Check with vendors about their pricing to get an estimate of how much you are likely to pay when your requirements expand. 
-   **Data protection and privacy:** Your volunteers might be non-commercial resources, but their data is still classified as personal information that can be leveraged/misused for commercial gains. Additionally, there could be regulatory implications in the event of data breach. Check with vendors about the security measures and compliance of their software solutions.
    

* * *

## Relevant volunteer management software trends

-   [**Blockchain improving volunteer management**](https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8054088)**:** The distributed architecture of blockchain technology and its immutable characteristics can help improve the credibility of volunteer management processes. By registering volunteer activity details such as time and tasks on distributed ledgers, the technology can help drive transparency into operations. Further, smart contracts can help ensure that recorded details are not influenced by human interference.
