General
What is VolunteerBase?
VolunteerBase is a verified service platform that creates permanent, blockchain-backed records of volunteer hours. When you volunteer at participating nonprofit organizations, your hours are verified and stored on the blockchain, giving you a trusted, tamper-proof record of your service.
How does the blockchain verification work?
When a nonprofit supervisor confirms your volunteer hours, that record is written to a blockchain — creating an immutable, transparent entry that cannot be altered or falsified.
Is VolunteerBase a real nonprofit?
VolunteerBase Foundation is currently applying for fiscal sponsorship, which will allow us to operate as a tax-exempt project under an established 501(c)(3) sponsor. You can follow our progress and view organizational documents on our Transparency page.
For Volunteers
How do I get my hours verified?
Volunteer at any participating nonprofit organization. After your hours are confirmed by a supervisor, they are automatically recorded on the blockchain through our secure platform.
Can I get a certificate of my volunteer hours?
Yes! You can generate verified credentials and certificates from your blockchain record at any time. These can be shared with employers, schools, scholarship committees, or anyone who needs proof of your service.
Where can I view my verified hours?
Log in to your VolunteerBase account to see your full history of verified volunteer hours, generate certificates, and share your record.
For Organizations
How can my nonprofit join?
Visit our For Nonprofits page to learn about partnership requirements and submit an application. We welcome any organization that holds tax-exempt status — including 501(c)(3), 501(c)(4), and 501(c)(19) entities. If your religious organization is recognized as tax-exempt under IRC §508(c)(1)(A), or if your project operates under a fiscal sponsor with verified tax-exempt status, you are also eligible to partner with us.
Is there a cost to participate?
There is no cost for nonprofits to participate in VolunteerBase. We provide the platform and verification tools at no charge.
