Volunteers sign up for shifts, check in, and track their own contributions from their phone. Your organisation gets clean, structured data — ready to use.
We're actively piloting with Our Big Kitchen and building a community of developers and tech supporters committed to giving mission-driven organisations the best tools available.
A volunteer checking in means a clipboard. Booking a shift means an email thread. Tracking contributions means chasing people at month-end — and all of it lands on someone's desk before it ever reaches your CRM. That's not a people problem. It's a tools gap. And it costs mission-driven organisations thousands of hours every year that could go toward the work itself.
Volunteers open Civium on their phone — no app store, no training. They book a shift, set their preferences, check in on the day, and see their own history of contributions. That activity flows directly into your CRM as clean, organised data. From there, your team decides what to do with it: track finances, measure fundraising, analyse volunteer patterns, plan marketing, or report on growth. One input. Many uses.
See All FeaturesThe Bigger Picture
The private sector has tools engineered precisely for how it operates. Nonprofits have workarounds. Civium is a commitment from a growing community of developers and technology professionals to close that gap — building purpose-built infrastructure for mission-driven organisations, maintained by people who care about the outcome. We're building in the open, with partners who share that vision. If you work in tech and believe the social sector deserves better tools, there's a place for you here.

The organisations using Civium serve people who depend on them. When the tools work, coordinators spend less time on admin and more time with the people they're there for. If you care about where your code ends up, build here.

Shift logs, meal counts, volunteer hours — all drawing from the same source. Less manual merging. Clearer reporting. More time on mission.
Our Story
Civium started at Our Big Kitchen, where a team of developers, CRM specialists, and nonprofit professionals saw firsthand how much time goes into keeping systems talking to each other. They decided to fix it — volunteering their expertise to build something mission-driven organisations actually deserve.
We're actively building out additional modules and growing our community of developers and supporters. Be part of it from the start.
