How RAKD works
One simple loop that rewards doing good — and works for everyone in it.
Find a shiftPick a cause and a date that works for you.
Show your passThe coordinator scans it when you arrive and leave.
Points landHours are verified on the spot. Points never expire.
RedeemShow your reward code at a local business.
For volunteers
Browse opportunities from local nonprofits — one-time events, weekly shifts, or flexible anytime work — and sign up for a date. If a shift is full, join the waitlist and you're moved in automatically when a spot opens.
At the shift, show your RAKD pass. The coordinator scans it when you arrive and again when you leave, and your hours are verified right then — your points get RAK'd up and never expire. Volunteering remotely? Log those hours yourself and the nonprofit approves them.
Spend points on rewards from partner businesses: tap Redeem, show the code, and the staff scan it. You can choose to share your contact info with a business for extra deals — it's always optional and you can stop anytime.
For nonprofits
Post opportunities with dates, times and the number of spots you need, and see who's coming in the next two weeks — including anyone on the waitlist.
On the day, run a check-in desk from your phone: scan each volunteer's pass in and out and their hours are verified automatically. For big events, print a self check-in poster and approve those hours afterwards.
Export your volunteers and every verified hour to a spreadsheet for your board, grant reports and donors.
For businesses
Create point-priced offers with a photo, a quantity and an end date, and preview exactly what volunteers will see before it goes live.
When someone redeems, they show a code at your counter — scan it and hand over the reward. Customers who opt in to hear from you appear in your dashboard, so the people your rewards bring in can become regulars.
