OpenVolMgr

What OpenVolMgr is

OpenVolMgr is an open-source resource management platform for nonprofits, shelters, and community-led organizations. It helps coordinate volunteers through specialized groups, such as driver or supervisor teams, and supports secure whitelisted mailing. Organizations can assign tasks dynamically and automatically record time contributed. Granular permissions and live analytics provide administrative oversight, while direct messaging supports communication between staff and volunteers. The documentation includes guidance on recurring shifts, task overlaps, verification, volunteer groups, and group supervisors. Users can export shift histories as CSV and generate contribution letters. Security guides cover multi-factor authentication and approved-domain whitelisting. Organizations can run the software on their own infrastructure or request managed deployment with hosting and setup. The managed offer includes priority support and maintenance; the knowledge base limits ticketing to Standard and Enterprise. The project began in a local homeless shelter and was developed with feedback from staff. OpenVolMgr is open source and offers a free self-hosted plan; it supports web, Android, and self-hosted use.
