During the current global crisis, working together to keep our communities safe and healthy is more important than ever. Mobilize has always featured in-person and virtual event capabilities—in fact, since 2018, we’ve facilitated over 4M signups to virtual events. As we navigate COVID-19, we are helping organizations like yours transition their supporter engagement efforts online to keep volunteers safe and maintain momentum during this critical time.

Historically, ~25% of signups on Mobilize have been on virtual events. In March, we saw that number spike to 90%, indicating that volunteer interest has not been diminished—it has just shifted towards remote opportunities. Organizations that quickly and effectively transition to virtual-first strategies will be well-positioned to harness this volunteer demand.

We will update this page periodically with new content and resources to support you in this quickly-changing environment.
