Every year, millions of moments depend on people showing up and pitching in. A volunteer shift. A classroom event. A fundraiser. A team practice.

In 2025, organizers across schools, nonprofits, workplaces, and communities relied on SignUpGenius to turn good intentions into action. The result was a year defined not just by activity, but by follow-through.

Here is what our community made possible in 2025.

2025 at a Glance

In the past year, organizers across schools, nonprofits, workplaces, and communities used SignUpGenius at an incredible scale.

  • 2.3 million+ organizers created sign ups to coordinate events, volunteers, and activities
  • 5.7 million+ sign ups created, supporting everything from single-day events to ongoing programs
  • 102 million+ needs filled, helping people show up where they were needed most
  • 5,200+ organizers optimized payments through SignUpGenius
  • $30 million+ collected through sign ups in the past year
  • 528,000+ payment transactions processed, reducing manual tracking 

These numbers represent more than activity. They reflect parent volunteers raising their hands, donation drives reaching their goals, volunteer shifts covered, and community events that worked because people showed up prepared.

What Those Numbers Look Like in Real Life

Behind the data are organizers solving real coordination challenges every day. In 2025, SignUpGenius was used to:

  • Support schools and PTAs, from classroom volunteers to large-scale school events
  • Coordinate youth programs, ensuring consistent participation and clear expectations
  • Organize volunteer efforts for unhoused communities, helping teams show up reliably
  • Support families of fallen soldiers, managing sensitive, mission-driven efforts with care

Some events served hundreds. Others supported a small group with a big need. What they had in common was a simple goal. Make it easier for people to say yes and follow through.

A Year Defined by Participation

What stood out most in 2025 was not just volume. It was consistency. Organizers returned again and again to run events, recruit volunteers, and manage commitments because the process felt manageable.

When coordination is clear, more people participate. Fewer reminders are needed. Organizers spend less time chasing responses and more time making an impact.

That is the real story behind the numbers.

Looking Ahead to 2026

As we head into 2026, our focus remains the same. Helping organizers bring people together with less chaos and more confidence.

The insights from 2025 continue to shape how we improve SignUpGenius. From simplifying setup to expanding tools that support growing events and evolving needs, every update is driven by how real people organize real moments.

Thank you to every organizer and participant who made 2025 such a meaningful year. Your time, energy, and commitment are what power the SignUpGenius community.
