Volunteering Administration Components

The key administration components in Volunteering are: organizations, causes, projects, feedback, and settings. You create and approve a volunteering project that's associated to an organization. The volunteering project can focus on a single cause or several causes.

Projects

A volunteering project can be a one-time effort or span several hours. To generate interest you send email blasts about the volunteering project. The following details are mandatory to create a volunteering project:

  • A unique project name

  • Description

  • Organization

  • Cause

  • Start date and duration

  • Location

  • Project lead contact details

  • Minimum participants

  • Minimum age requirement for participants

Organizations

An organization is an entity that benefits from the volunteering project and it's activities. An organization if it's based in the US must have a valid Employer Identification Number (EIN) to validate it's status as a nonprofit organization with the IRS database. The EIN isn't mandatory for organizations that are based outside of the US. The following details are mandatory to create an organization:

  • A unique name

  • Nine-digit EIN number (for US based organizations only)

  • Description

  • Contact

Campaigns

A campaign is a group of related volunteering projects. For example, you can create a Global Education campaign by grouping all education related projects. Employees can find a campaign and volunteer for a project of their choice.

Settings

Configure user agreement details, photo approval, causes, EIN validation schedule, and Oracle CrowdTwist integration.

Project Feedback

Improve the volunteering experience based on ratings that volunteers provide for project leader, project experience, and organization.

Newsletters

Create and send volunteering project news and announcements, and campaigns with associated projects using newsletters.
