Membership for community organizations
The power to sustain and grow your mission.
Run your whole membership program in one place: tiers, payments, renewals, and the people who join.
Community starts at $0, with unlimited members.
Why Legwork
$0
Community plan
No monthly price to run your program. You pay a platform fee on the membership payments you collect.
1
Platform, not five
Tiers, billing, member records and email in one place instead of a spreadsheet and a payment link.
0
Charges for the size of your list
Members, contacts and viewers are unlimited on every plan.
Membership is a relationship, not a transaction.
Which means the software has to do more than take a payment. Legwork handles the money and the months in between: who your members are, where they stand, and when they renew.
What you run on Legwork
All your members, no spreadsheets*
Four things every membership program needs. One place to do them.
*You can still use spreadsheets. We won’t tell anyone.
Payments that collect themselves
Set your tiers once, monthly, annual or pay what you want, and let automated billing, receipts and renewals do the follow-up.
Know exactly who your members are
Status, tier and payment history for every member in one place, so you can see who just joined, who is about to lapse and who has been with you for years.
Reach them when it matters
Email your members from the place their records live. Every plan includes sends.
A database, or a good neighbor to one
Legwork can be the only system you need to keep track of your people. Already use Mailchimp or another tool? Connect it through Mailchimp or Zapier.
The member experience
Redefining what it means to be a member.
Most community memberships give people nothing to belong to: a receipt, and maybe a portal that exists to update a card. Every member who joins through Legwork gets an account where they can see their membership and manage it themselves.
What members usually get
- A membership card in the mail, if that
- A confirmation email, and then silence
- A payment portal bolted onto a CRM, at best
- An email to the office to change a card
What they get on Legwork
- A real account they log into
- Every invoice and receipt in one place
- Their tier, benefits and renewal date, always current
- Renewals and payment changes they handle themselves
Who it's for
So many missions. So many members.
Legwork is built first for community organizations, volunteer-led or staffed, where the membership program is the difference between a good year and a hard one.
01
Advocacy and civic
Turn the people who join into a constituency you can actually mobilize.
02
Arts and culture
Give members a reason to stay involved all season, not just opening night.
03
Environment and outdoors
Fund the stewardship work that happens between grant cycles.
04
Community and mutual aid
Recurring support for work that cannot wait on the next campaign.
05
Sports and recreation
Memberships and renewals without the spreadsheet.
06
Education and youth
Keep families involved beyond the annual ask.
How we make money
Funded by membership programs that work.
We only do well when your program does. That shapes what we build and what we refuse to do with your data.
Your members, not our list
Your member records are yours, never resold.
Paid out to your own account
Legwork collects membership payments and pays them out to your organization’s own bank account. The member relationship stays yours; we run the plumbing underneath it.
Priced for a program that grows
Community has no monthly price. The platform fee is a share of the membership payments you collect, so what you pay tracks what membership brings in.
Every membership, one account.
Members get a single place for every organization they belong to: one card on file, one place to renew, and every invoice in one list.
Our vision
Support that shows up all year.
Most community organizations fund the whole year out of a few weeks: the gala, the year-end appeal, the grant cycle. Everything they plan rides on how those weeks go.
A world where every community organization thrives on the strength of its relationships, and every supporter’s commitments compound into real impact.
