How Smart Automation can simplify Volunteer Management for Nonprofits
Nonprofits come in all shapes and sizes but when it comes to giving back to the community there’s a common path to success. Whether your non-profit is an NGO or a school with hundreds of members, you can better impact your chosen cause and your organization’s brand when you encourage your constituents to participate in a volunteer program. And Smart Automation can make your volunteer program more efficient and effective.
Volunteer engagement requires a strategy that is based on the organization’s ability to make volunteers feel like what they do adds value, helps fulfill the mission, and makes a difference. When organizations have effective communication with their volunteers they find that volunteers are excited about what they do and give more than is asked of them.
Wondering how your group members can best volunteer? Your imagination is the only limit.
Effective Communication with Volunteers
A smart volunteer management system will help you maximize your volunteering opportunities, communicate with volunteers with ease, automatically track and report your efforts, measure your group’s impact, and offer extras like built in donation processing.
Volunteers who share their time and a part of their lives, have a natural interest in what is happening behind the scenes. They want to know more about new endeavors, action plans, how well the organization is achieving its mission, and how what they do contributes to its success.
Sharing performance data with volunteers helps them see the big picture and furthers their passion for the organization. This not only has a positive impact on the volunteer but also positively affects the customers with whom the volunteer interacts. The mission of the organization is also reinforced.
When nonprofits rely solely on handwritten notes and spreadsheets, organizations and volunteers could both miss out on important developments. Implementing a smart volunteer management system like LiveImpact can keep your organization and its volunteers in the loop ensuring everyone is on the same page.
