What Volunteer.box is
Volunteer.box is a free web platform for nonprofits coordinating volunteers, scheduling tasks, and tracking projects across locations. Staff can maintain profiles with contact details, skills, availability preferences, and assignment history. Tasks may be scheduled once or set to recur daily, weekly, or monthly, and related work can be grouped into projects. Calendar views cover day, week, month, and agenda formats. Volunteers do not need accounts: organization staff use the platform, while volunteers can submit post-task forms without logging in. Those forms can capture hours, ratings, and notes. Administrators can configure task statuses, categories, and workflows, and organizations can export data in standard formats. The Free plan is for organizations with fewer than 100 volunteers. Email and SMS notifications use the organization's own messaging accounts. The maker says each organization's data is separated into database schemas and encrypted in transit and at rest. According to the privacy policy, account data is deleted within 30 days of closure unless legal or compliance retention applies. The help center says support replies by email within one business day.
