Case Study: Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity achieves streamlined volunteer management and increased volunteer engagement with Giveffect

Effective Volunteer Management With Giveffect

Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that relies heavily on volunteer labor across Cedar, Iowa, Johnson and Washington counties, faced a labor-intensive, manual volunteer management process (spreadsheets, paper waivers, and disparate systems). To modernize on-boarding, better leverage volunteer skills and improve the user experience, they adopted Giveffect’s volunteer management platform.

Giveffect implemented a centralized, web-based volunteer system with customizable forms, an interactive calendar, automated communications, and integrated reporting. As a result, Iowa Valley saw a significant increase in volunteers, gained a 360-degree view of volunteer interactions, and saved staff time by eliminating manual data entry and improving reporting; Giveffect’s solution also enabled tracking of hours, donation history, skills/interests, availability and job ratings for better role assignments.
