Why HandsUp
Volunteering should be simple.
People want to help. What gets in the way is everything around the helping.
- Opportunities are scattered across websites, group chats and flyers.Everything nearby lands on one map.
- Signing up means forms, emails and waiting to hear back.You join in one tap and get a confirmation on the spot.
- Your hours and impact disappear once the day is over.Confirmed hours and moments add up on your profile.

Find it. Join it. Feel it add up.
Three screens from the app, doing the three things that matter.
Join in one tap
Pick your availability, tap once, and you’re in. Details and reminders land in your calendar.
Watch it add up
Hours the organization confirms, meals packed, cleanups done — and a share card for every moment.
For organizations
Run your program, not a spreadsheet.
Approved nonprofits get a console on the web and the same tools inside the app.
- Post an opportunity in minutes
Title, cause, when, where and how many. It appears in the feed and on the map as soon as you publish.
- Rosters and on-site check-in
See who joined and who is waitlisted. Mark attendance from a phone at the event itself.
- Confirm hours in one action
Only hours you confirm count toward a volunteer’s totals, so the numbers stay honest.
- Reports ready for funders
Volunteers engaged, hours delivered, fill rate, and an export for any date range.
