What it is
An event-management app for nonprofits is a web-based tool for recruiting volunteers, registering attendees, and coordinating shifts for galas, drives, and community events. It keeps people, sign-ups, and hours in one database instead of scattered sign-up sheets.

Every field below is one you can add, rename, or remove by chatting with Kleap — a starting point tuned for nonprofits.

Frequently asked questions
Can volunteers sign up for shifts themselves online?+
Yes. Publish a sign-up form on your Kleap site listing roles and time slots, and each volunteer's choice saves to their record. Your coordinator sees live shift coverage on the dashboard and can spot gaps before event day.
Can the app collect donations during the event?+
No. Kleap doesn't process payments, so it can't take donations or sell gala tickets directly. It manages your people, sign-ups, and shifts; run donations through a dedicated giving platform and track the results separately.
Can we track volunteer hours for grant reporting?+
Yes. Add an hours-logged field to each volunteer record and total them from your dashboard. You get the participation and hour counts you need for board updates and grant applications, though you assemble the final report yourself.
Can we require a signed waiver before someone volunteers?+
You can add a consent checkbox and a waiver-status field to the sign-up form and store uploaded documents on each record. Kleap tracks who has agreed, but it isn't a certified e-signature service, so treat it as record-keeping rather than a legally binding signature tool.
