Tap into a network of 6 million+ volunteers
Mobilize is built on a pre-existing community of engaged volunteers — not a directory you have to search. When you publish an event, it’s promoted across 3,000+ partner organizations and surfaced to volunteers already looking for opportunities like yours. On average, 45% of signups come from the Mobilize network, and customers see an 11% increase in conversions from tapping into it.
Convert more volunteers with less friction
Volunteers in the Mobilize network already have their signup forms prefilled, so completing an action takes seconds. Partner organizations in the network cross-promote your events to their own supporters, driving additional reach with no extra effort on your part. 15% of signups come from partner-promoted events.
Create and manage events in minutes
Set up one-time events, recurring shifts, virtual meetings, canvasses, phone banks, town halls, and more — all without technical knowledge. Volunteers can self check-in with QR codes, manage their own schedules through a personalized portal, and sign up in English or Spanish. The median time to create your first event is 5 minutes.
Reach volunteers with the right message at the right time
Send targeted emails and SMS to your full volunteer list or specific groups in just a few clicks. Mobilize keeps communication centralized, so your team isn’t juggling separate tools to stay in touch with volunteers before, during, and after events.
Automate the follow-up that drives retention
Mobilize handles the repetitive but critical work of keeping volunteers engaged. Automated event newsletters increase RSVPs by 4–6%. Confirmation reminders mean 90% of confirmed volunteers show up. Post-shift emails and feedback requests go out automatically — and 32% of volunteers respond with in-depth feedback your team can act on.
Turn your volunteers into your best recruiters
Built-in prompts encourage volunteers to bring friends, sign up for another shift, make a donation, or host their own event — automatically, at the right moment in their journey. 22% of attendees come from volunteers bringing friends, and 23% of all events on the platform are hosted by volunteers.
Why Bonterra Mobilize?
One of the biggest value-adds of Mobilize is that it’s not just a tool, it’s a network. We’ve gotten over 2,000 shifts from other organizations and people bringing their friends.
