CHARLOTTE, N.C. - November 12, 2014 - SignUpGenius, the leading online sign up provider for volunteer and event organizing, moves into the 880th spot of US ranked sites (Alexa.com) thanks to a busy fall for schools and organizations. More than a quarter of a million events were coordinated through SignUpGenius in the month of October alone. 

In addition to SignUpGenius, SignUpGenius Pro offers an advanced suite of features for large organizations, businesses, and power users. SignUpGenius Payments provides the ability to collect money through sign ups, from end-of-season coaches' gifts to large fundraisers like capital campaigns.  

This fall marked significant growth for the already popular organizing site. Revenue from SignUpGenius Pro increased 156% in October 2014 over the same month last year, while revenue from SignUpGenius Payments was up 191% over the same period a year ago. 

"The team of SignUpGenius is incredibly grateful to be recognized as the go-to solution for volunteer and event organizing," said Dan Rutledge, SignUpGenius CEO. "We understand that life is only getting busier for families, and we're committed to making our service easy to use while continually adding new features. Our growth this fall helps affirm that's what group organizers are looking for." 

Users saw exciting upgrades to the core site at the start of the back-to-school season, including a complete site redesign. In addition, 75 new sign up designs were added to the 500+ backgrounds already available for sign ups.

SignUpGenius Pro added functionality that includes:

• Advanced email sending capabilities (i.e. email scheduling and tracking, and themed email invites to match the sign up)
• Ability to add attachments to sign ups
• Cloud storage for files and photos
• Volunteer hours reports

The volunteer organizer at St. Joseph's Catholic School, Moorhead, MN raves, "Wow this site is amazing! I've used it for a few years but this year we upgraded to Pro and it has been a game changer for our school! Each time I think it would be nice to have this feature or that feature, I find (SignUpGenius is) already way ahead of me." 

SignUpGenius continues to empower people to change the world by making it simple to organize groups.
