Tracking Volunteer Information In FundRaiser
The Volunteers module in FundRaiser Select, and included in Professional, allows your organization to track much more than the names of your volunteers. With the ability to set up projects and teams, you can create work schedules and get detailed information about the work your volunteers accomplish.
The Volunteers module comes built into FundRaiser Professional; it’s an add on for FundRaiser Select. Within this module is the ability to track as little information (Volunteer names and contact information, for example) or as much as you need. When looking at big projects, such as a group for outreach or a specific event, you may want to establish a team or a project. This is easy to do within the module, and it allows you to group various volunteers together and track their hours.
However, the Volunteers module is more than simply a place to track people and hours. The reports available within allow you to look at volunteer specific hours, as well as groups and teams, or overall yearly or project hours and volunteer work. With the inclusion of an “hourly rate”, it’s easy to see the monetary value volunteers bring to your organization.
Being able to note, track, and quantify the work your volunteers do is important. It means having the information on hand to relay the information about your volunteers and their accomplishments. And to be able to provide that information forward. I encourage you to look at the Volunteers Module within FundRaiser Professional and Select.
