Why it matters

Stop losing volunteers
in the gaps

Most food banks track volunteers in one system and donors in another — so the person who sorts dry goods every Saturday never shows up in your fundraising pipeline. With Golden and Raiser’s Edge NXT working together, volunteer data flows directly into your CRM, and no engaged constituent slips through the cracks.

Golden surfaces the moments that matter: who just completed their first shift, who’s a repeat volunteer with no giving history, who’s already expressed interest in your mission. Your team can act on those signals fast, with the right ask at the right time.

of volunteers donate to charity. Almost twice the rate of non-volunteers.

The question isn’t whether your volunteers will give. It’s whether your team knows who they are and reaches them at the right moment.

How it works

From first shift to
first gift in three steps

Step 1

Volunteers show up

They discover your opportunities, sign up, and log hours in Golden — sorting donations, staffing mobile pantries, packing boxes.

Step 2

Activity syncs to RE NXT

Hours, shifts, and engagement history flow automatically onto each constituent record. No spreadsheets, no manual entry.

Step 3

Fundraisers act on signals

First shift completed? Repeat volunteer with no giving history? Your team sees it in RE NXT and makes the right ask at the right time.
