If you’re unable to submit a new volunteer opportunity, it usually means there is a volunteer application from one of your existing listings that is waiting for a response from your team.
This application will appear in the Pending Nonprofit Availability state. This happens when:
A volunteer applied and has not yet received a response, or
A volunteer suggested new times and is waiting to hear back.
You can quickly locate these applications by going to the Applications tab in your Taproot Plus Dashboard and filtering by Pending Nonprofit Availability.
What You Need to Do
Log in to your Taproot Plus Dashboard and review the application(s) listed as Pending Nonprofit Availability.
From there, you can choose how you’d like to proceed. You can:
Propose times to meet
Schedule the call
Accept the volunteer
Decline the application
Once you take action on all pending applications, you’ll be able to submit a new volunteer opportunity.
Why This Step Exists
Responding to volunteer applications helps maintain a positive experience for everyone on the platform. Volunteers receive timely updates, and nonprofits can keep their opportunities moving toward a successful match.
