The right volunteer can be the driving force behind your mission's success. With a VolunteerMatch Standard Membership, you gain access to the world’s largest network of volunteers. But to truly connect with the ideal candidates who will help propel your organization forward, upgrading to Pro Membership unlocks a suite of enhanced benefits designed to make your recruitment efforts more effective and efficient. Read on for our top ten reasons to consider going Pro.
Discover the Advantages of Pro Membership:
1. Seamless Integration with Our Most Powerful Tool: Direct Connect
When a volunteer expresses interest in your opportunity, timing is everything. With Direct Connect, you can immediately guide them to your Volunteer Management Software or registration page, capturing their enthusiasm at the moment of peak interest. This instant connection ensures that motivated volunteers are more likely to complete the sign-up process, leading to higher engagement and participation.
2. Maximize Visibility with Effortless Opportunity Reposting
Standing out in a crowded field of volunteer opportunities can be challenging. Our One-Click Reposting tool keeps your listings at the top of search results, ensuring potential volunteers see your opportunities first. By reducing the time and effort needed to refresh your postings, you can focus on attracting more volunteers who are ready to contribute to your cause.
3. Create a Compelling Visual Narrative with Increased Photo Storage
A picture is worth a thousand words, and with Pro Membership, you can showcase up to 100 photos in our Media Manager. Use these images to tell the story of your organization, highlight the impact of your volunteers, and create an inviting and visually appealing profile. This increased storage capacity allows you to engage potential volunteers on a deeper, more emotional level, drawing them into your mission.
4. Expand Your Recruitment Reach with Multi-Zip
Your mission knows no boundaries, and neither should your volunteer opportunities. With Multi-ZIP, you can broaden the geographic scope of your listings beyond the default 20 mile radius, making them visible in specific cities, counties, or even nationwide. As a Pro Member, you benefit from a 15% discount on this service, allowing you to connect with a wider audience without stretching your budget.
5. Streamline Volunteer Engagement with Advanced Tools
Building a strong volunteer base requires more than just sign-ups—it’s about nurturing relationships. Our advanced Volunteer Engagement tools help you manage every step of the process, from initial contact to full-fledged involvement. Track applications, manage on-boarding, and maintain detailed records, all while identifying potential donors within your volunteer pool. These tools empower you to build a dedicated and supportive community around your cause.
6. Amplify Your Mission with Exclusive Marketing Opportunities
Visibility is key to growing your volunteer base. As a Pro Member, you’ll gain access to exclusive marketing opportunities that will help you reach a broader audience and amplify your mission’s impact. These opportunities, available only to Pro Members, ensure that your organization stands out in the crowded nonprofit landscape.
7. Enhance Your Knowledge with the Pro Resource Library
Staying ahead in the nonprofit sector requires continuous learning. The Pro Resource Library offers a wealth of featured resources, templates, and research that are specifically designed to support your volunteer recruitment efforts. With ready-to-use graphics and social media quotes, you can easily promote your opportunities and grow your organization’s online presence.
8. Receive Priority Assistance with Pro Support
When you need help, time is of the essence. Pro Membership ensures your requests receive VIP treatment, with priority customer service that moves you to the front of the queue. This level of support allows you to resolve issues quickly, keeping your focus on your mission.
9. Attract More Volunteers with Embeddable Opportunities
Make it easy for potential volunteers to find and join your cause by embedding your VolunteerMatch opportunities directly into your website or blog. This customizable feature not only standardizes your communications but also increases the visibility of your opportunities, leading to more recruits and greater impact.
10. Effortlessly Convert Volunteers into Donors
Volunteers who believe in your mission are often willing to contribute in more ways than one. With a prominent donation button added to your profile and opportunity listings, you can seamlessly convert their passion into financial support. This dual approach ensures that your volunteers have multiple ways to help your organization thrive. You choose where your donation button links to so that it integrates with your current donation platform.
