App Update Log

October 2025

Latest Release

Driving Organizational Accountability

The fall update focused on providing powerful tools for organizations to manage goals, provide incentives, and generate detailed reports.

  • Improved Goal Governance: We added direct approval contact information to specify individuals for each goal set. This feature adds a critical layer of oversight, allowing organizations to clearly define roles, expedite goal approval processes, and ensure accountability within team and organization volunteering initiatives.
  • Advanced Group & Goal Reporting: The organizational app was enhanced to filter and report on groups and historical goals. This gives organizations deeper insights into past performance and team-based impact, empowering them to make more informed decisions about future initiatives.

Mobilizing Growth and Consistency

This major release established a sustainable model for the mobile app and ensured a unified experience across all devices.

  • New Subscription Plans: To fund future innovation and ensure the platform’s long-term sustainability, we successfully launched monthly and annual subscription plans for the Givefinity mobile app. The annual option offers the best value and encourages a long-term commitment to our platform.
  • Web and Mobile Alignment: The web application received design enhancements for Goals and Activities that mirror the mobile app’s improvements. This ensures a consistent and modern user experience, regardless of whether you access Givefinity via your phone or desktop.
  • Stability and Reliability: Standard bug fixes were deployed across the platform to ensure a stable and reliable experience for all users.

Enhancing the Volunteer Experience

Our focus this spring was on streamlining the user journey and providing a more insightful view of individual impact.

  • Holistic Profile Experience: We integrated Activity and Goal functionality directly into the user profile screen. This design enhancement provides a single, motivational view of a user’s philanthropic journey, making it easier than ever to track progress, manage commitments, and stay motivated toward their volunteering and giving objectives.
  • Simplified Onboarding: We introduced new volunteer onboarding enhancements to significantly reduce friction for new users. By simplifying the initial guidance, we’re ensuring that new volunteers can quickly get acclimated to the Givefinity platform and connect with relevant organizations, supporting the healthy growth of our community.

December 2024

Givefinity Web App:

Volunteers can now track their time and activities via the Givefinity web app. This new functionality brings all the functionality of the mobile app to your web browser, making it even more accessible for anyone to use – whether they’re on a computer or mobile device.

Simplified Onboarding 

Onboarding and adding volunteers has never been easier! No longer do volunteers have to download the app first, you can add them to your dashboard and they’ll receive an email to log on via the web or download the mobile app. Simply go to the Users tab and select either the + ADD USER or ADD MULTIPLE USERS button.

May 2024

These updates are designed to drive efficiencies and make your experience even more productive.

Here’s a quick glimpse of what you can expect:

  • Enhanced Organizational Reporting: Create reports based on your specific needs – either by activities, volunteers, or goals. These can be exported in csv format for additional custom reporting.
  • Activate and Deactivate Volunteers: Organizations can now activate or deactivate volunteers associated with their organization without impacting previous data for the volunteer or organization. For instance, if a student graduates, you can deactivate them from entering data with the organization and still retain all previous volunteering data. 
  • Time Entry Optimizations: Save time entering in your time. Volunteers and organizations now have an easier way to enter in time measurements in the mobile app and dashboard. 
  • Create New Custom Fields: Organizations can create custom fields related to the volunteer to track and report on. For instance, if you want volunteers to specify when they started serving or the year they graduate, you can add that to their profile and request it be completed. 
  • Alerting: Whether you are celebrating a recent goal achievement or requesting data to be completed, alerts can be generated.
