01
Three tools, three identities
The gala attendee who volunteers twice a year and captains a team page shows up as three unconnected records, so nobody sees the major-gift prospect she is.
Ignite Engagement
Events, volunteers, community.Connected.
Ignite Engagement runs events, volunteer programs, and community groups inside the platform that holds the constituent record. Every registration, shift, and gift becomes part of the relationship your fundraisers can see.
- In-person, virtual & hybrid events
- Volunteer check-in & hour logging
- Every interaction on the record
The point-tool tax
Every program runs in its own tool.
Events in one platform, volunteers in another, community somewhere else. The supporter who does all three looks like three different people.
02
Activity that never reaches the record
Registrations, shifts, and event gifts live in the event and volunteer tools, so the fundraiser working the constituent record never sees them.
03
Willing volunteers, no way in
The supporter who wants to help browses a static list with no sense of what fits their skills, and the coordinator matches people from memory.
Run the programs where the relationship lives.
Events, volunteer opportunities, and groups are platform entities on the constituent record, not exports from a point tool. The donor-facing pages they publish are designed in Ignite Design Studio. On your website or ours.
Event management
Events stay visible and manageable.
Create events, take registrations, and manage attendees from one working grid, with status, fundraising options, volunteer counts, and dates in view.
- Event creation, registration, and ticketing with branded pages
- Custom registration questions and attendee management
- Repeating events, DIY fundraising, and volunteer counts in one grid
Volunteer discovery
Connect people to the right opportunity.
A shared taxonomy of causes, interests, and skills organizes how supporters find volunteer work, so the right person finds the right shift without a coordinator in the middle.
- Cause tags from disaster relief to wildlife conservation
- Interest and skill tags that match people to the work
- Registration, check-in, and hour logging on the platform
Community, connected
Participation becomes fundraising intelligence.
Groups, timelines, and event giving run on the same record as fundraising, so engagement is context for the next ask instead of a silo.
Community groups & memberships
Define groups, manage membership, and see group-level engagement from a shared workspace.
Engagement timeline
Events attended, volunteer activity, and group memberships surface on the constituent profile.
Event-linked fundraising
Add-on giving and ticketing tied to gift records, with peer-to-peer at events and team pages for thons.
Groups as incentives
Group-based goals, recognition, and engagement campaigns keep supporters involved between events.
Every registration, shift, and gift lands on the same record.

Questions
Asked by every team that switches.
Direct answers, because you've sat through enough vendor slides.
Book a working sessionDo events and volunteer activity show up on the constituent record?
Yes. That is the point of running engagement inside the platform. Events attended, volunteer activity, and group memberships surface on the constituent profile, so the volunteer who attends your gala reads as one relationship, not three rows in three tools.
How do supporters find the right volunteer opportunity?
Through a shared taxonomy of cause, interest, and skill tags. Supporters browse or search opportunities by what they care about and what they can do, then register, check in, and log hours on the platform.
Can we raise money through events?
Yes. Event-linked fundraising covers add-on giving during registration, ticketing tied to gift records, peer-to-peer at events, and team pages for thons, with every gift attributed on the platform record.
What are community groups?
Named groups your supporters belong to, with membership management and group-level engagement in a shared workspace. Groups also work as incentives, with group-based goals, recognition, and engagement campaigns, and they integrate into donation-page configuration.
Is Engagement another tool we have to integrate?
No. Engagement is a module of the Ignite platform, not a connected product. Events, volunteers, and groups run on the same constituent record as fundraising, marketing, and finance, so there is no sync to build or maintain.
