Turn your most loyal supporters into extensions of your team
Volunteers are the MVPs of educational fundraising. They care, they’ve raised their hand, and a request from them is 3x more effective than an institutional ask.
Drive donor participation
Equip volunteers with powerful social fundraising tools that make sharing campaigns, matches, and challenges easy.
Personalize outreach
Empower volunteers to create and share video messages and engage their assignments securely through managed email and texting.
Steward every gift in real time
Enable alerts so volunteers receive real-time notifications every time one of their assignments makes a gift.
Gamify the volunteer experience
Incentivize volunteers by displaying key metrics like the number of clicks, gifts, and dollars raised as a direct result of their advocacy.
Increase alumni engagement
Get the word out about events and reunions by having volunteers share details with fellow alums via text and email using custom templates.

Manage volunteer communications and track engagement
Send emails and text messages to volunteers as a group, or individually, and track email open rates from a centralized dashboard.
Streamline volunteer onboarding
Empower volunteers to easily log in to their volunteer management dashboard and self-manage their own assignments.
Share data reliably and securely
Stop manually downloading reports and sharing data that’s stale by the time you press send. Give volunteers and staff access to real-time data—automatically—with our volunteer management software.
Harness the power of peer to peer
Peer-to-peer outreach is the most popular fundraising tactic among nonprofits in the U.S. It’s also the most effective way to engage new and lapsed donors on the GiveCampus platform.

Read rave reviews from real GC Volunteer Management users
“… the solution that we needed.”
The Volunteer Management system has provided the solution that we needed to reduce the amount of staff time required to coordinate peer-to-peer outreach, while providing access to classmate data that our volunteers want. We no longer have to send each volunteer individual lists of prospective donors to reach out to.

GC VOLUNTEER MANAGEMENT
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the GiveCampus volunteer management software allow volunteers to schedule their outreach?
Yes! The “Schedule Send” feature lets volunteers schedule emails to go out in the future (beginning an hour ahead). This feature also allows volunteers to view scheduled emails in a list, adjust scheduled times, or cancel scheduled emails.
How do volunteers sign up or apply to become a volunteer in GC Volunteer Management
Before volunteers can create accounts, school administrators need to add them as Volunteers in the GC Volunteer Management environment. Once added to the system by administrators, volunteers will be prompted to create an account. Administrators can send automated registration emails to volunteers by clicking the “Email to New Unregistered Volunteers” button from the Volunteers page.
Do volunteers have their own volunteer profiles in GC Volunteer Management?
Yes, volunteers do have their own profiles in the GC Volunteer Management system. When a school administrator adds a volunteer to the system, they create a volunteer record that includes basic information like the volunteer’s name, email, class year, and assigned role(s)
Volunteers can access their profile after creating a GiveCampus account and logging in. The profile allows them to:
- View their assignments (constituents they’ve been paired with for outreach)
- See their volunteer dashboard which may include campaign information if their role has been connected to fundraising campaigns.
- Access resources and email templates provided by the school.
The system tracks volunteer activities like notes created, emails sent, and any contact information they’ve updated for constituents. This information is included in reports that administrators can access.
What is the pricing structure for GC Volunteer Management
GC Volunteer Management is priced based on the number of “Licensed Volunteers.” A Licensed Volunteer is defined as any volunteer whose assigned role in GC Volunteer Management allows them to access the Services, including viewing, creating, or modifying constituent records, tasks, assignments, messages, notes, email templates, or using email functionality. For larger schools that may want to divide and manage their volunteer population in groups (for example, business school vs medical school), GC Volunteer Management also offers an option to purchase additional units as needed.
How are emails sent?
GiveCampus optimizes email outreach for three factors:
- Deliverability (keeping your email from being treated as SPAM)
- Ease of use (making it as easy as possible for your volunteers to send an email)
- Donor trust (respecting donor privacy)
This approach achieves 99.9% deliverability rates, doesn’t require any additional steps by the volunteer to set up their account, and it ensures donor privacy because a constituent might respond to the volunteer with sensitive information. The volunteer’s email is automatically captured by the volunteer management software, but the constituent’s reply is not.
Switching is easier than you think
GiveCampus has everything you need to make a clean break—including bi-directional integrations with your CRM, an event registration solution, built-in outreach capabilities, and more.
