VolunteerHub is the best volunteer scheduling software for churches and religious organizations, here are 5 reasons why.
Many churches and religious organizations rely on the support of volunteers to make their ministries possible and achieve goals. Unfortunately, recruiting volunteers is one of the biggest challenges that religious organizations face. In fact, according to a national survey conducted by Faith Communities Today, 70% of religious organizations said they find recruiting volunteers continually challenging and sometimes impossible.
Another survey, reported by The Unstuck Group, found that the top 10% of churches in America engage more than 72% of their adult and student attendees in some kind of volunteer role.
With so many programs and desired outcomes relying on volunteers, religious organizations must invest in solutions.
Having the right tools in place to recruit, engage, and manage constituents can help religious organizations optimize their volunteer programs. Fortunately, VolunteerHub provides volunteer scheduling software to help churches reach and engage volunteers. Here are 5 reasons religious organizations should consider investing in VolunteerHub.

Effective communication with volunteers is one of the most important steps a religious organization can take to engage volunteers.

CRM Integration
Fundraising represents a substantial driver for most religious organizations and their ability to operate. 39% of all donations go to religious organizations and 80% of those donations come from individual donors. Because of this, churches and other religious establishments need to bridge the gap between volunteers and donors. Identifying and leveraging the link between volunteers and donors will help religious organizations avoid missing cross-pollination opportunities.
CRM integration can help religious organizations bridge the gap between constituents, improve efficiency, deduplicate records, automate processes, and maintain data reliability.
VolunteerHub integrates with industry-leading CRM systems, including all Blackbaud CRM products.

Reporting
Without an effective reporting process, religious organizations won't know how their volunteer program is performing. Making strategic decisions, based on data, is crucial to the success of any volunteer program. VolunteerHub comes with standard reports that allow organizations to quickly view and analyze volunteer rosters, sign-in sheets, and registration history based on event or supporter.
