Case Study: St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish achieves 20% more volunteers and a smoother festival with SignUpGenius

Church Festival Planning Made Easy With Online Sign Ups

St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish in New Berlin, WI, needed a better way to organize volunteers for its annual Family FunFest. Volunteer Coordinator Jan C. had previously relied on paper sign-ups and spreadsheets, which meant attending masses every weekend to recruit volunteers and spending significant time managing the process. The parish turned to SignUpGenius, an online sign-up tool, to make volunteer scheduling easier and more flexible.

With SignUpGenius, the parish moved volunteer registration online and later upgraded to SignUpGenius PRO for features like multiple administrators. SignUpGenius helped reduce scheduling time, enabled volunteers to sign up anytime, and sent automatic reminder emails that eliminated no-shows. As a result, the parish filled over 535 volunteer slots, saw nearly 20% more volunteers than the previous year, and raised close to $50,000 for St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish.
