🤗 How to set up giving opportunities on Deed - Volunteer Events

Volunteer Events

An Event is direct service volunteering with a specific date and time.

• Invite volunteers to sign up

  After you create an Event, you can invite volunteers to sign up.

  In ‘Manage Deeds,’ click on an Event. In the bottom right-hand corner, select ‘Invite Attendees’ corner, and input their name and email address. This will send an invitation to sign up for your volunteer event.

• Contact volunteers through the Deed Nonprofit Platform

  Email all the volunteers who signed up with updates or reminders about your event.

  In ‘Manage Deeds,’ click on an Event. Select ‘Contact Attendees’ in the bottom right-hand corner.

• Check in volunteers

  You can manually check in volunteers to a Volunteer Event if the volunteer does not check in themselves. In ‘Manage Deeds,’ click on an Event. In the bottom left corner, select ‘Check-in’ next to the volunteer’s name.

  Currently, there is no way to check-in virtual volunteers – coming soon!

• Waitlist

  When spots get filled for your Volunteer Event, employees are able to join the waitlist and will be notified if more spots open up.

• Virtual Volunteer Events

  Please create a virtual link before you create your virtual Volunteer Event. The virtual link will be emailed to attendees in their confirmation email, in reminder emails, and is available on the Deed platform.

  • When you upload a CSV of attendees after the Event, the employees will be automatically checked-in ✅
