Learn More About Volunteer Impact

Volunteer Impact’s intuitive form builder lets you develop up to three active online applications that capture the exact information your organization needs for certain roles. We also have enterprise options available for organizations that need department- or location-specific application setups.
Once your application forms are ready, you can embed them into your program’s website for easy access. Then, share links to your forms with potential applicants across all of your volunteer communication channels, including email, SMS, and various social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, etc.)
When a prospective volunteer starts an application or contacts program staff, Volunteer Impact automatically creates a profile for them. Once they submit a form, their responses are saved in your database so you can review their details, track their application status, and move approved applicants into the onboarding phase of the volunteer journey.
The matching tool in the Volunteer Impact database helps align new volunteers' skills, interests, and availability with your organization’s open roles. This way, you can place undecided volunteers in positions where they’ll be satisfied, effective, and motivated to stick around long-term.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Volunteer Recruitment Software Features

Volunteer programs that don’t leverage a specialized recruitment solution often rely on generic form builders and disparate spreadsheets, which complicates data collection and negatively impacts applicant experiences. Volunteer recruitment software is more user-friendly for applicants and customizable for coordinators, includes automation elements to speed up workflows, and eliminates data silos when it’s part of an end-to-end volunteer management system.
Very! When building a volunteer application, Volunteer Impact allows you to:
- Incorporate your organization’s branding (logo, colors, fonts, etc.) into the visual design
- Write your own role descriptions and instructions for completing the form
- Intentionally select every form field you want to include, along with specifying which ones are mandatory vs. optional
- Create multiple applications for different position categories
You can also configure form publication, sharing, and data collection to align with your team’s and applicants’ preferences.
Not every volunteer role requires the same level of vetting, which the Better Impact team understands. So, Volunteer Impact allows your organization to customize its applicant pipeline by adding custom applicant statuses to your database, recording interview and background check results, and having multiple program managers review applications before approving them.
