How to Create a Volunteer Event

Steps to Create a Volunteer Event

Log in to your Uncommon Giving Admin account.
From the main navigation menu, click “Volunteer”
Select “Events”
Click “+ Create Event”
Follow the prompts to enter your event details.
Review the event information. You can save as a draft until you are ready to publish. Once ready, be sure to change the Publish status to "Publish" and click save.

Once done, the event will appear in the Volunteer section for employees to view and register.

**Send Announcement Email: When creating the event, you will have the option to send an Announcement Email to notify employees about the volunteer opportunity.

⚠️ Important: This announcement email can only be sent once. After it has been sent, it cannot be resent from within Uncommon Giving. If additional reminders are needed, we recommend sharing the event link through your internal communication channels (such as Slack, Teams, or internal newsletters).

If you have any questions or need assistance creating a volunteer event, please contact the Uncommon Giving Support Team.
