Acquisition brings together 80,000+ organizations, 400+ volunteer centers, and 600 million+ hours of volunteer data to give volunteer professionals the tools, visibility, and support they deserve
Winston-Salem, N.C. — Mar. 11, 2026 — Better Impact, the #1 rated volunteer management software on G2 for 2026, today announced it has acquired Galaxy Digital, a leading volunteer technology company. The combined organization brings together the most comprehensive family of purpose-built volunteer management solutions and the largest connected volunteer opportunity network in the industry. Galaxy Digital’s products will continue under the Better Impact brand.
Volunteers are the backbone of nonprofits, hospitals, government agencies, and corporate community programs. Yet while volunteers represent roughly one-third of the nonprofit workforce, only about 0.2 percent of foundation fundingsupports the typical volunteer resources needed. This gap creates operational strain for volunteer professionals, limits organizations’ ability to scale service delivery, and makes it harder to retain volunteers and measure outcomes.
The expanded Better Impact platform now includes:
- Volunteer Impact — the #1 rated volunteer management system, serving nonprofits, healthcare, government, and community organizations
- Amplify — enterprise-level VMS for multi-location organizations
- Sustain — VMS for single-location organizations
- GetConnected — the network powering 400+ volunteer centers and connecting 60,000+ nonprofits with volunteers
- Volunteer Link — a product for corporations and universities to connect employees and students with vetted volunteer opportunities
- HandsOn Connect — a Salesforce-native volunteer center product and VMS
All existing products will continue to be fully supported. No customer will experience service disruption, and no organization will be required to migrate from one system to another.
“We started with a simple belief: volunteer professionals deserve better. Better tools, better insight into their impact, and a real seat at the table inside their organizations,” said Houston Goodwin, CEO of Better Impact. “Bringing Galaxy Digital into the Better Impact family gives us the scale to deliver on that promise 80,000 organizations, 400-plus volunteer centers, and the largest connected network of volunteer opportunities in the industry. Every existing customer will continue to be supported. Nothing breaks. Everything gets better. We are better together.”
“There was a natural fit between our two companies with a shared vision to elevate volunteer professionals and the value of volunteerism,” said Walt Dickinson, former CEO of Galaxy Digital, now CRO at Better Impact. “Together, we’re building a platform that gives volunteer leaders the tools and insights to unlock funding, expand their programs, and prove the impact of the work they do every day.”
“We see a tremendous opportunity in bringing these two organizations together,” said Steve Ressler, co-founder and managing partner of The Brydon Group “The teams from Better Impact and Galaxy Digital bring a wealth of expertise to one of the most important and most undervalued economic drivers in the world volunteer-powered organizations. Together, they will reshape the recognized value of volunteers.”
The expanded Better Impact platform serves more than 80,000 organizations around the globe; including volunteer centers, nonprofits, animal shelters, faith-based organizations, housing and shelter providers, states, cities and counties, K-12 education systems, colleges and universities, healthcare providers, and corporate volunteering programs. Across the combined platform, more than 600 million volunteer hours have been logged to date. Customers include United Ways, Volunteer Ireland, YMCA, Girl Scouts of North East Ohio, Operation Kindness, Pista Magica, CCVA, Arkansas PBS, and many more.
