The problem

Volunteer wrangling shouldn’t be a full-time job.

Scheduling by email and chasing timesheets eats hours you don’t have — yet those volunteer hours are exactly what grants ask for. Ember makes both effortless.

How it works

Sign-ups and hours, handled.

1

Post open shifts; volunteers sign themselves up from their phone.

2

Volunteers log hours with a tap, so you stop chasing timesheets.

3

Auto-generate the volunteer-hours report a grant needs for its match.

4

See who’s coming to Saturday’s event and fill the gaps before the day.

5

A volunteer’s total hours and history are one click away.

Questions

Good questions, honest answers.

Is it really free?

Yes. Ember has a genuinely useful free plan — no credit card, no trial clock. You only pay later if your work grows and you want more.

When does it launch?

Early access is rolling out soon. Join the list and we will email you the moment your spot opens.

Do we have to be a 501(c)(3)?

No. Ember is for nonprofits and the people starting them — grassroots groups, all-volunteer teams, fiscally sponsored projects, and founders still getting set up. No paperwork or proof needed to start. If we ever add nonprofit-only pricing, we'll confirm status just for that — never to let you in.

Is our data safe?

Your data is encrypted, never sold, and always yours to export. We are built privacy-first, with your donors’ trust in mind.

What does early access commit us to?

Nothing. Try it, help shape it, and leave anytime. Founding members simply get in first.
