Nonprofit Volunteer Scheduling Software

Publish opportunities. Fill shifts. Track impact.

Stop coordinating volunteers over email and spreadsheets. Alignmint's Volunteer Scheduler gives your organization a public signup calendar where volunteers browse and sign up on their own. On event day, scan QR codes to check people in — hours are tracked automatically. After the event, see the impact in your analytics dashboard.

The only volunteer scheduling tool that connects directly to your fund accounting, donor CRM, and financial reports. Available on Pro and Enterprise plans.

Nonprofit volunteer scheduling software with public signup calendar

Complete Volunteer Scheduling

From creating events to measuring impact — everything your volunteer coordinators need.

Public Signup Calendar

Publish a branded calendar page at your unique URL. Volunteers browse events, see details (date, time, location, skills needed, spots remaining), and sign up instantly — no account required.

QR Code Check-in

Each volunteer gets a unique QR code. Scan with your phone or tablet camera on event day. Audio feedback confirms each check-in. Manual fallback available for volunteers without their code.

Automatic Hour Tracking

When a volunteer checks in, their hours are credited automatically based on the event's start and end time. No more manual hour logging for scheduled events — just scan and go.

Skill Matching

Tag events with required skills (Beginner, Intermediate, Expert). Match volunteers to events based on their skill profiles. Ensure the right people show up for the right work.

Analytics Dashboard

Track key metrics: total events, unique volunteers, hours logged, and attendance rate. See impact value calculations, volunteer leaderboards, and trends over custom date ranges.

Event Templates

Save event structures as templates for recurring volunteer opportunities. Create new events in seconds by reusing details, capacity settings, and skill requirements from past events.

Waitlist Management

When events fill up, volunteers join a waitlist. Promote waitlisted volunteers automatically or manually when spots open. Signup deadline enforcement prevents last-minute changes.

Email Communications

Automatic emails for every stage: confirmation on signup, reminders 24 hours before, thank-you messages after events, and waitlist promotion notifications. No manual follow-up needed.

Signup Source Tracking

Know where your volunteers come from: direct links, public calendar, volunteer marketplace, or QR codes. Understand which channels drive the most signups and optimize your recruitment.

Why Scheduling Belongs in Your Accounting System

Standalone scheduling tools create data silos. Alignmint connects every shift to your finances.

In-Kind Contributions: Scheduled volunteer hours flow directly into your fund accounting for FASB ASC 958-605 in-kind contribution reporting
Grant Reporting: Automatic hour tracking means accurate data for grant applications without manual data entry or export/import between tools
Impact Metrics: Calculate the dollar value of volunteer contributions using the Independent Sector rate — ready for board presentations
Volunteer CRM: Attendance, hours, skills, and background check data all live in one profile — no syncing between separate systems
Complete Relationships: See which donors also volunteer and which volunteers also give — understand the full picture of every person
One Platform: Scheduling, hour tracking, CRM, accounting, and reporting in one login — no more juggling three different tools
