Though it\u2019s not a tailored solution for volunteer management like others in this list, if you\u2019re already using WildApricot to manage your members, or are looking for an inexpensive solution that allows you to combine member and volunteer management, it\u2019s a worthy option to consider.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below, we\u2019ve listed three easy ways you can use it to combine member management and volunteer management all in one place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Ask Your Members for Their Availability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If it\u2019s a simple need of members letting their availability be known, you can create a specific section in membership fields called something like Volunteer Opportunity. The example we have shows Interests below, but you can easily change this to Volunteer Opportunity, allowing your volunteers to select the opportunities they&#8217;d like to sign up for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"370\" height=\"279\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wildapricot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/adding-list-items-WA.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13518\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wildapricot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/adding-list-items-WA.png 370w, https:\/\/www.wildapricot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/adding-list-items-WA-300x226.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 370px) 100vw, 370px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating a multiple-choice field in this section listing all the opportunities your organization offers allows volunteers to log in and simply let their preferences be known. The admin can then run an advanced search on that field and the values to find out who is available. This is a simple workaround for a simple need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Embed Your Favourite Volunteer Scheduling Software<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>WildApricot allows you to embed any platform that provides an embed code for their platform. You can simply create a page for volunteers to schedule themselves and embed the code in that page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Integrate With Google Calendar Slots<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is possible to <a href=\"https:\/\/it.stonybrook.edu\/help\/kb\/creating-bookable-appointment-slots-in-google-calendar\">create appointment booking slots in Google Calendar<\/a>. You can then embed this calendar on any page. Then, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wildapricot.com\/blogs\/newsblog\/2019\/01\/11\/wild-apricot-integromat\"><u>using our integrations<\/u><\/a>, you can record the event on a specific member\u2019s profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this solution, the volunteer would book a slot on the embedded Google Calendar, and Make (previously Integromat) would then look up that member and make a note on their WildApricot profile. This would make it possible to run advanced searches and get a report on who volunteered on a specific date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Top 3 Volunteer Management Solutions for Larger Nonprofits and Associations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Large organizations need a few additional features and greater access to the number of members or users.&nbsp;This means finding a more robust solution to simplify operations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These volunteer management solutions are geared towards those large nonprofits that will most likely need more tools and more support.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Software<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Best For<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Mobile App<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Starting Price<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Key Volunteer Feature<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.volunteermatters.com\/\"><strong>VolunteerMatters<\/strong><\/a><\/td><td>Unified donor and volunteer relationship management<\/td><td>\u2713<\/td><td>Starts at $219\/month + $499 set up fee<\/td><td>All-in-one platform that focuses on volunteer engagement, not just management<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/goldenvolunteer.com\/customers\/nonprofits\/\"><strong>Golden<\/strong><\/a><\/td><td>Multi-chapter organizations and corporate partnerships<\/td><td>\u2713<\/td><td>Free (limited) \/ $110\/month<\/td><td>Location-based volunteer opportunity recommendations across multiple regions<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/volunteerhub.com\/\"><strong>VolunteerHub<\/strong><\/a><\/td><td>Organizations needing deep CRM integration<\/td><td>\u2713<\/td><td>$143\/month<\/td><td>Seamless integration with Salesforce &amp; Blackbaud (Raiser&#8217;s Edge, eTapestry, Altru)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"282\" height=\"48\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wildapricot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/VolunteerMatters-logo.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13523\" style=\"width:249px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1) <a href=\"https:\/\/momentivesoftware.com\/solutions\/volunteer-management-software\/\"><u>VolunteerMatters<\/u><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Best for unified donor and volunteer relationship management<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think of VolunteerMatters as your one-stop shop for volunteer management.
