List of Volunteer Management Software

List of Volunteer Management Software: "For this page, volunteer management software is defined as software that actually has "volunteer" somewhere in its official description (it does NOT have to be called "volunteer management" software, however).

Therefore, this page could not be considered a comprehensive list of software that can be used to manage volunteer information.  "
