USER-FRIENDLY DIGITAL SIGNAGE SOFTWARE Digital signage for volunteer groups and charity non‑profits

Q: What is digital signage?

Digital signage means using digital screens to share information, such as news, schedules, images and videos. Instead of putting up paper notices on a noticeboard, you update the content from your computer or phone, and it appears on the screens straight away. The content is managed through digital signage software such as PinToMind, which makes it easy to create, organise and schedule what's shown on each screen. Want to learn more? Read our article about what digital signage is and how it can be used.

Q: What equipment do we need to get started?

To get started with digital signage, you need software to manage your content and a screen to display it. PinToMind is one such solution, and you can create content and preview it in your browser before you have a screen in place. Already have a screen? You may be able to use it with PinToMind, either on its own or with an external media player. Check if your screen is compatible. Need a new screen? We recommend screens designed specifically for digital signage, with built-in media players. Check our recommended hardware before you buy anything, so you know it will work with PinToMind.

Q: How can we reach members who aren't near a screen?

With the PinToMind Go mobile app, you can reach members, parents and volunteers directly on their phones, even when they're nowhere near a screen. The content you publish on your screens can also be shown in the app, in a simple, algorithm-free format. You can send notifications when something new is published. PinToMind Go is included in your subscription.

Easy to use

It’s easy to use, even if you’re not very technical, and we get quick answers whenever we need help.

We use PinToMind to share news, highlight activities and promote events in our church. It’s been really useful for us!

We use it for both staff news like birthdays and seminars, and for opening hours and menus for our café guests.

Volunteer organisations such as sports clubs, churches, choirs and scout groups use digital signage to keep members, volunteers and visitors up to date. Screens in the clubhouse, church hall or lobby can show match results, rehearsal times, upcoming events and reminders.

Digital signage is also a great way to thank sponsors and showcase your activities with images and videos, giving visitors a lively picture of everything that goes on.

The cost of digital signage for a charity non-profit depends on the software you choose and whether you already have suitable screens.

Software: PinToMind offers volunteer groups and charity non-profits our best price through the Volunteer plan, with full access to all features. You pay a low flat rate per screen display. See the Volunteer plan for prices.

Screens and hardware: If you already have a compatible screen, you may be able to use it. Otherwise, you'll need to factor in the cost of a screen and possibly a media player.
