Reliable and motivated volunteers
for non-profit organizations
With purpozed, we provide non-profit organizations with a tool that enables them to recruit and manage motivated, qualified and reliable volunteers more quickly and easily. Many organizations shared their needs with us and so we were able to develop purpozed together WITH organizations FOR organizations.
These and many other non-profit organizations are already involved:

Frequently asked questions & answers
Which organizations can use purpozed?
purpozed can be used by all non-profit organizations that are committed to one or more of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations and are non-profit organizations within the meaning of Section 52 of the German Fiscal Code (AO). They should also have clear goals as to what they want to achieve in concrete terms, as well as a strategy and concrete measures to achieve these goals. The resources required for volunteer management must also be available.
Why is the use of purpozed permanently free of charge for non-profit organizations?
We want to ensure that non-profit organizations do not pay for the use of purpozed or for the support they receive. Instead, we charge a monthly fee to our corporate partners who offer their interested employees access to purpozed and thus support them in becoming socially involved. This enables non-profit organizations to use our platform permanently and free of charge.
For what types of volunteering activities can organizations find volunteers on purpozed?
Any activity that can be carried out from any location is conceivable with purpozed. We assign all activities to one of the following four categories:
- Commitments: Volunteers help the organization’s target group – i.e. those in need – or simply lend a hand. Often regularly over a longer period of time, but sometimes only once and for a short time. No special technical skills are usually required for these engagements.
- Projects: Volunteers help the organization directly by carrying out specific technical projects, e.g. designing websites, advising on data protection, laying out brochures or improving bookkeeping. Projects have a predetermined approximate number of hours and volunteers need the appropriate technical skills to implement them.
- Advice & collaboration: Volunteers generally support the organization directly by providing advice and/or collaboration as experts in a specific area on a regular basis and over a longer period of time (e.g. 2 hours per week over 6 months).
- Calls: Volunteers support the organizations directly by acting as experts and answering acute/concrete questions or providing feedback on specific topics during one-hour telephone calls. Within the framework of calls, volunteers and organizations can get to know each other and agree on a longer-term collaboration.
