VolunteerMatters is Software as a Service (SaaS) application that helps non-profits maintain their volunteer lists and coordinate volunteer activities. Since VolunteerMatters is an on demand application, there is no software to download. All the information is stored on a secure offsite server.

Any organization that uses volunteers such as churches, museums, community organization, schools, corporate volunteers and women’s groups can sign up for VolunteerMatters.With VolunteerMatters, non-profits can create a database of volunteers, but in addition to a database, VolunteerMatters gives the non-profits tools to manage the volunteers.

The non-profit can create customized application forms, match volunteers with openings, send bulk emails to potential volunteers and track volunteer activity. Volunteers that sign up with the non-profit are entered into a customizable contact database. The database also tracks contacts’ activities and there is an online contact directory.

VolunteerMatters offers built in report templates or the non-profit can customize their own. It is possible to modify and memorize the reports. The non-profit can track volunteering goals and requirements and the program makes it easy to send out letters thanking volunteers for their help.
