Turn your most loyal supporters into extensions of your team

Volunteers are the MVPs of educational fundraising. They care, they’ve raised their hand, and a request from them is 3x more effective than an institutional ask.

Drive donor participation

Equip volunteers with powerful social fundraising tools that make sharing campaigns, matches, and challenges easy.

Personalize outreach

Empower volunteers to create and share video messages and engage their assignments securely through managed email and texting.

Steward every gift in real time

Enable alerts so volunteers receive real-time notifications every time one of their assignments makes a gift.

Gamify the volunteer experience

Incentivize volunteers by displaying key metrics like the number of clicks, gifts, and dollars raised as a direct result of their advocacy.

Increase alumni engagement

Get the word out about events and reunions by having volunteers share details with fellow alums via text and email using custom templates.

We know that our digital campaigns bring in new and returning donors who might be strong gift prospects. The more accurate our constituent data, the more targeted and strategic we can be about next steps for our team and our volunteers.

Save time and increase impact with a simplified administrative experience

Set volunteers up for success without losing any sleep, and manage all of your volunteer communication from one central place.

Create custom roles, permissions, and segments in seconds

Securely manage access to constituent data by customizing access for each volunteer based on their specific role—whether they’re a volunteer coordinator or brand new volunteer.

Get immediate insight into volunteer activities and outcomes

Keep tabs on outreach and progress toward goals without burdening volunteers with manual tracking and reporting tasks.

Manage volunteer communications and track engagement

Send emails and text messages to volunteers as a group, or individually, and track email open rates from a centralized dashboard.

Streamline volunteer onboarding

Empower volunteers to easily log in to their volunteer management dashboard and self-manage their own assignments.

Share data reliably and securely

Stop manually downloading reports and sharing data that’s stale by the time you press send. Give volunteers and staff access to real-time data—automatically—with our volunteer management software.

GiveCampus helps us equip our volunteers with the tools and data they need to meaningfully engage their peers, and to do so more effectively and efficiently. It empowers our staff to manage and recruit more volunteers than ever before, and to better assess the health and progress of our program as we move it forward.

Harness the power of peer to peer

Peer-to-peer outreach is the most popular fundraising tactic among nonprofits in the U.S. It’s also the most effective way to engage new and lapsed donors on the GiveCampus platform.

9% More likely to be retained

LYBUNTs are nine percent more likely to be retained when assigned to a volunteer.

64% Average email open rate

Read rave reviews from real GC Volunteer Management users

“… the solution that we needed.”

The Volunteer Management system has provided the solution that we needed to reduce the amount of staff time required to coordinate peer-to-peer outreach, while providing access to classmate data that our volunteers want. We no longer have to send each volunteer individual lists of prospective donors to reach out to.

“Seamless Engagement, Powerful Impact”

GiveCampus makes it easy for me to work with over one hundred volunteers, and I’m in the system on nearly a daily basis. My volunteers love how easy it is to use. They especially like the notifications they receive when someone in their group makes a donation. They are able to thank the donor almost immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Does the GiveCampus volunteer management software allow volunteers to schedule their outreach?

Yes! The “Schedule Send” feature lets volunteers schedule emails to go out in the future (beginning an hour ahead). This feature also allows volunteers to view scheduled emails in a list, adjust scheduled times, or cancel scheduled emails.

• How do volunteers sign up or apply to become a volunteer in GC Volunteer Management?

Before volunteers can create accounts, school administrators need to add them as Volunteers in the GC Volunteer Management environment. Once added to the system by administrators, volunteers will be prompted to create an account. Administrators can send automated registration emails to volunteers by clicking the “Email to New Unregistered Volunteers” button from the Volunteers page.

• Do volunteers have their own volunteer profiles in GC Volunteer Management?

Yes, volunteers do have their own profiles in the GC Volunteer Management system. When a school administrator adds a volunteer to the system, they create a volunteer record that includes basic information like the volunteer’s name, email, class year, and assigned role(s).

Volunteers can access their profile after creating a GiveCampus account and logging in. The profile allows them to view their assignments (constituents they’ve been paired with for outreach), see their volunteer dashboard which may include campaign information if their role has been connected to fundraising campaigns, and access resources and email templates provided by the school. The system tracks volunteer activities like notes created, emails sent, and any contact information they’ve updated for constituents. This information is included in reports that administrators can access.

• What is the pricing structure for GC Volunteer Management?

GC Volunteer Management is priced based on the number of “Licensed Volunteers.” A Licensed Volunteer is defined as any volunteer whose assigned role in GC Volunteer Management allows them to access the Services, including viewing, creating, or modifying constituent records, tasks, assignments, messages, notes, email templates, or using email functionality. For larger schools that may want to divide and manage their volunteer population in groups (for example, business school vs medical school), GC Volunteer Management also offers an option to purchase additional units as needed.

• How are emails sent?

GiveCampus optimizes email outreach for three factors:

1. Deliverability (keeping your email from being treated as SPAM)
2. Ease of use (making it as easy as possible for your volunteers to send an email)
3. Donor trust (respecting donor privacy)
   This approach achieves 99.9% deliverability rates, doesn’t require any additional steps by the volunteer to set up their account, and it ensures donor privacy because a constituent might respond to the volunteer with sensitive information. The volunteer’s email is automatically captured by the volunteer management software, but the constituent’s reply is not.
