Golden Solutions for the Public Sector

Volunteer Management Platform

Golden’s core platform is a closed-loop, full-lifecycle volunteer engagement management system that automates recruiting, screening, credentialing, scheduling, tracking, communicating, and retaining volunteers. Designed as a turnkey, mobile-first SaaS solution, the platform serves as the system of record for over 52,000 organizations across all 50 states—including nonprofits, state and local government agencies, healthcare systems, educational institutions, faith-based organizations, and corporate CSR programs. Golden is SOC 2 Type II certified, HIPAA compliant, and meets GDPR, CCPA, COPPA, and ADA standards.

State Government & Commission Solutions

Medicaid Community Engagement (HR-1) Compliance

The Community Engagement requirements under the Working Families Tax Cut Act (Public Law 119-21) require Medicaid beneficiaries aged 18–64 to participate in structured activities—including volunteering—for 80 hours per month. This affects an estimated 10–15 million Americans and creates an unprecedented need for proven, production-ready, compliant volunteer engagement technology. Golden provides ready-made infrastructure for states to stand up compliant CE programs on an accelerated timeline with CMS-ready reporting built in.

Key Capabilities

  • Real-time, closed-loop volunteer opportunity inventory where capacity and fulfillment are tracked automatically—not self-attested
  • Mobile-first user experiences designed for offline and low-bandwidth situations, since more beneficiaries will have access to mobile phones than desktop computers
  • Automated compliance verification: identity, hours, credentials, and output metrics captured without human data entry
  • AI infrastructure to personalize upskilling, career guidance, and sustained engagement over time for each beneficiary
  • Configurable journeys that bundle opportunities into longer arcs—such as workforce readiness or recovery tracks—with milestone recognition
  • CMS-ready reporting with full audit trails, synchronized with state HHS and whole-person care management systems in real time
  • Flexible participation modalities: in-person, virtual, hybrid, self-paced, micro-actions, and mutual aid

Custom Branded Products & White-Label Deployment

Golden offers comprehensive white-labeling and branding across web portals, mobile apps, field kiosks, dashboards, email communications, and reports. Agencies and partners can deploy a fully branded volunteer experience—including custom domains (e.g., service.[state].gov), branded login flows, and Single Sign-On (SSO) integration—reinforcing trust and institutional identity for constituents and volunteers.

Key Capabilities

  • Turnkey branded web portal that displays a personalized feed of upcoming opportunities with access controls and SSO
  • Custom-branded iOS, Android, and web apps deployable in as little as 24 hours
  • Branded check-in kiosks for in-person events and programs
  • Custom domain support for government-branded, trusted user experiences
  • Self-service content curation: display only your content, show external partners, or open the door to all publicly-available Golden opportunities
