Flutterbye: Helping to grow sustainable not-for-profit organisations -
Designing, delivering and improving your volunteer program -
Training, coaching & inspiring volunteer engagement professionals
Stronger volunteer programs. Stronger communities.
Your volunteer program is not where it needs to be. You can feel it.
Recruitment is harder. Good volunteers leave without warning. Your coordinator is holding it together with effort and goodwill, not systems. Compliance gaps create risk you cannot quantify. You know volunteers make a difference, but you cannot prove it to leadership.
You have tried the fixes. Stretched an already-busy staff member. Invested in software. Sent people to training. None of it stuck.
We help volunteer programs that are struggling to recruit, retain and manage people. We reduce risk, build systems that capture real data and give you the evidence to demonstrate impact where it counts. Then we build the structure so those fixes hold.
Flutterbye works with not-for-profits, councils, government departments, peak bodies, volunteer resource centres and community organisations across Australia, New Zealand and globally. Volunteer management consulting is the whole job here. That means your program gets the right systems, the right structure and the right support to work.
What we believe
Volunteers show up because they want to make a difference. Your program decides whether they keep coming back.
The organisations that get this right invest in three things: the systems that hold the program together, the people who lead it and the culture that makes volunteers feel like they belong. We help you build all three.
How we work
Plan
Build volunteer engagement strategies, frameworks and programs that work for your organisation, your team, and the community you support.
Deliver
Turn your team into confident, capable leaders with hands-on support, training and coaching built around your program.
Improve
We measure your volunteer program against the National Standards for Volunteer Involvement, find the gaps, and implement changes that lift performance.
We audit your volunteer management system (Better Impact) setup and tell you exactly what to streamline, fix or build out.
