Manage your charity fundraiser volunteers
A dozen activities spread across the town, five associations taking part, and one weekend for all of it to stand up at the same time.
Ten activities at once, one schedule
Cake sale on the square, sponsored walk, tournament at the sports hall, refreshments, sign-up stand: each activity has its place, its hours and its volunteer requirement. Taken separately they are simple; it is their simultaneity that creates the problem, because the same people are expected in two places.
Each activity becomes a team, each shift a slot, and the tool refuses to assign somebody to two overlapping shifts. See assignment and availability checks.
Each association keeps control of its volunteers
A charity weekend brings together organisations that do not all know each other: the events committee, the sports club, the firefighters' association, the school. Volunteer groups give each of them their own sign-up link and their own managers. They run their members, you keep the overall picture, and nobody sends you a free-form list the day before.
The rota, up to date for everyone
The sheet pinned up in the village hall is wrong by the next day. Here, every volunteer has their own page with their shifts and their manager's contact details, and email campaigns let you warn everybody, one activity, or a single shift, when something moves.
Every team has its own lead
The event is split into teams: bar, welcome desk, security, set-up, shuttles. Each one goes to one or more leads, who create their own positions and assign their own volunteers without access to the rest of the organisation.
This page gives the filling rate of every team, and one click takes you down into the one that is stuck. You have nobody to ask to know where the event stands.
A position is a dated assignment
Inside a team, a position says what has to be done and between which hours: the Saturday bar, from 8am to 2am. A team splits into sub-teams where it needs to, by site or by day, each with its own leads.
The next edition is created from this one, with its teams, its positions, their hours and their requirements. You adjust what changed, the rest is already there.
Requirements are declared hour by hour
A position does not need the same headcount all day: two people from 8am to noon, four from noon to 3pm. The filling rate is read on those bands, and that is where a gap shows up while there is still time to fill it.
Opposite, every volunteer shows the availability they declared and the positions they already hold. An assignment that contradicts them is refused, every time, without you having to think about it.
Features
Volunteer registration
One public link, a QR code and a form that asks your own questions: applications arrive already sorted by preferred team and by availability.
Volunteer import and export
Bring your list in from a spreadsheet, as CSV or Excel, and take your volunteers, schedules and their answers back out whenever you want.
Volunteer tracking
Filter by status, team, availability or assigned position, choose your columns, and find each volunteer's full history.
Teams and positions
Split the event into teams and positions, hand each team to its lead, and say how many volunteers you need, hour by hour.
Volunteer scheduling
Assign people without ever creating a clash, follow staffing position by position, and send everyone their own schedule.
Shift booking
Let volunteers pick their own shifts, with substitutes and a waiting list, while you keep control of confirmation.
The volunteer's account
Every volunteer has their own page: their next shift, their hours, their documents, their perks, and their calendar up to date on their phone.
Emails to volunteers
Write in two clicks to a team, a position, unassigned volunteers or everyone, from reusable templates.
Documents and mail merge
Call-up letters, certificates, running sheets: one Word template, and one document per volunteer filled in with their details and schedule.
Badges and perks
Print badges with a photo and a QR code, and track the meals, drinks and t-shirts handed to each volunteer.
Volunteer groups
A partner organisation brings its own volunteers? Give it its own sign-up link and its own leads, without opening up the whole event.
A new edition every year
The new edition carries over teams, positions and hours shifted to the right dates, and last year's volunteers are invited back.
Volunteer data and GDPR
Hosted in France, a published processing agreement, and retention periods applied by code rather than merely announced.
Accessibility for volunteers
Measured screen by screen and published: 100% of the applicable RGAA 4.1 criteria, self-assessed, and a statement that also says what that does not cover.

Frequently asked questions
We are several associations, who should create the account?
One organisation creates the event and invites the others as groups, each with its own managers. There is one event, one schedule and one invoice.
Can we let volunteers choose their own shifts?
Yes, by switching on shift booking: each one sees the remaining places and signs up, with confirmation by a manager if you want it.
And next year?
The next edition is created from this one, with its activities, shifts and settings; last year's volunteers can be re-invited in one go.
