Pros
Our organization loves the ease of creating volunteer opportunities, the option for integrated background checks, and the ability to design the application as we need.
Volunteer Matters works well to create awareness of volunteer opportunities with our organization. It was easy to learn how to administer, and their customer support is very good.
It's user friendly and I was happy with the level of support I received. They were ready to help when I needed it.
Cons
There is no option to bulk delete shifts if there has been a schedule change in our programming.
It was a little hard to transition information over from our old system, but even that was at no fault of the program.
There has been no 'kiosk' option to check-in volunteers but I hear that changes are in the works.

Great Volunteer Management Tool

Reviewed a year ago

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

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

We love VolunteerMatters!

Reviewed 3 months ago

Exceptional! Everyone I've met/spoken with at VolunteerMatters has been amazing! They're helpful, friendly, and very easy to work with! The platform is everything we need and more to manage our Volunteer base.

Pros

VolunteerMatters is so customizable and works really well for us. We are able to easily manage 500+ active Volunteers while maintaining different credentials, contacts, sites, and projects. 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.

Easy, Breezy, VolunteerMatters

Reviewed 3 months ago

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!).

All in One System

Reviewed 3 years ago

We moved our volunteer system from paper to online with VolunteerMatters.

Pros

This software is user-friendly and is ever-changing with feedback from the consumer.

Cons

There has been no 'kiosk' option to check-in volunteers but I hear that changes are in the works.

Vendor response

You'll be happy to know, there is a kiosk option and has been for some time! We'll have your account manager reach out today to provide you with details. :)
