Volunteer Portal

Volunteers log hours, view schedules, update their profiles, and sign assigned waivers. Reimbursements from the portal require PlusProEnterprise, and that volunteer must have reimbursements turned on. Default is off. Portal reimbursements are in US dollars, and the rate stays 1. That keeps hour and expense data accurate without giving volunteers a full staff login.

Self-service for volunteers

The Volunteer Portal is a separate session at portal.alignmint.app. Staff can also open a volunteer’s portal view from Volunteers, but staff password sessions cannot use the volunteer reimbursements desk. Volunteers use their email to sign in. Hours they submit go through your approval workflow before they are finalized.

What volunteers can do

• Log hours: Submit volunteer hours with date, total hours, activity, and notes

• View history: See past hours and totals

• Update profile: Keep contact information current

• Sign waivers: Complete assigned waivers. Staff can also finish assigned waivers from Sign Waivers

• Submit reimbursements: Reimbursements from the portal require PlusProEnterprise, and that volunteer must have reimbursements turned on. Default is off. Staff submit in Tools → Reimbursements. Volunteers submit only from the portal.

How it works

Volunteers access the portal through a special link. They do not need a full AlignMint staff account. Portal reimbursements stay in the volunteer session so coordinators can review them without handing out bookkeeping access.

Receipts attached to a portal reimbursement belong to that volunteer’s request. Staff with review access can open those files from the staff reimbursements workflow. Volunteers cannot see other people’s receipts.
