What it is

VolunteerReady gives nonprofits and other organizations tools to recruit, screen, schedule, and manage volunteers. Volunteers can find opportunities and carry verified records between organizations using the platform. Organizations can build screening questionnaires with automatic pass-or-fail rules and review results in an application queue. Background checks use Checkr and Sterling and include an FCRA adverse-action workflow. Credentials such as training, orientation, ID verification, and reference checks can travel with volunteers across organizations. For scheduling, organizations can set up shifts, define capacity, accept sign-ups, and track attendance. Reporting covers hours, headcount, and credential status; corporate ESG summaries can be exported as CSV or PDF. The service is available on Android, iOS, and the web. Its free plan is free and has no volunteer, opportunity, or seat cap. Starter is $49 a month, and Pro is $149 a month. Roster CSV export is included in every plan, but rollout is organization by organization and may require enabling.
