Built for organizations that run on members.
Avistra is membership software with the website built in. Members, dues, events, email and giving run in the same system as your public site, designed for you and kept current by us, on one monthly plan that is never priced by the size of your membership. These are the organizations we build it for.
Associations
Trade and professional associations: members, dues, meetings and advocacy on one site.
Professional societies
Membership by category, meetings with their hours, and a directory members choose.
Chambers of commerce
Member businesses with seats, renewals, networking events and a job board.
Nonprofits
Members, donors, events and email in one system, so the time goes to the mission.
Charities
Appeals with a goal, regular gifts and receipts, paid straight into your own account.
Chapters
A chapter's own site: meetings, sign-ups, local dues and the roster from national.
Clubs
Programs, dues and a members area for garden clubs, historical societies and more.
Alumni groups
Events, scholarships and dues for independent alumni associations.
Your membership software and your website, in one place.
Members, dues, events, email and the pages themselves sit in the same system. One place you sign in to, one place your members go, and nothing to keep in step between them. And because every site is made for you rather than picked from a template, anything you need that is not on this list gets built in.
Members and people
Every member and contact in one record: what they joined, what they paid, what they signed up for. Membership types, organizations with seats, applications to approve, and renewal reminders that go out on their own.
Dues and payments
Take dues and registration fees through your own Stripe account. The money lands in your bank, and we add no surcharge on top of what your members pay you. Card details are entered on Stripe's own checkout and stay with Stripe, so your site never holds a card number.
Events and registration
Event pages and a calendar on your own site, sign-up forms you change in plain words, limits on numbers, members-only events, and paid tickets when you want them.
Email to your members
A drag-and-drop builder: start from a template, drag in headings, panels, buttons and pictures, and see exactly how it looks on a desktop and on a phone before it goes. Send it to everyone, to one membership type, or to a single group.
The website itself
Pages, posts, pictures and how each page shows up in search, all edited on the page you are looking at. Not a separate site bolted on to a member database. Here is how an edit is sent.
A portal for members
Members sign in with a code sent to their address, so there is no password to lose. They see their membership, renew it, read what is for members only, and find each other in the directory if you turn it on.
If you have members, it probably fits.
Guilds, federations, leagues, foundations with friends' groups, anything that keeps a list of people who join, renew, come to things and hear from you. Tell us what you run and what you run it on today, and we will say plainly whether we are the right fit.
