Volunteer Shift Signup Sheet
Publish volunteer shifts for an event or programme, let people sign up without an account, and send confirmations and reminders automatically.
Economics
- Pricing example
- $9/month per organisation (free: 1 event, 30 signups)
- Daily math
- 67 organisations x $9/month = about $600/month, or $20/day.
- Target if you hit the daily math
- Target: $600 / month at about 67 organisations
Audience and urgency
Audience: Nonprofits, mosques, churches, temples, school committees, food banks and community event organisers.
Urgency: Organisers fill volunteer slots through chat groups and spreadsheets, then chase people the day before. Shifts end up overfilled or empty and no-shows are common.
