Membership software for nonprofits, with the website built in.
Avistra is nonprofit software with the website built in. Members, donors, events, email and online giving run in the same system as the public site, so the time your staff and volunteers have goes to the mission instead of keeping four tools in step. One monthly plan, from $149 a month, never priced by how many people you keep on file.
One system, so the time goes to the mission.
Most nonprofits run on a database, a donation form, an email tool and a website that do not talk to each other. This is one.
Every supporter in one record
Members, donors, volunteers and people who came to an event sit in one list, each with what they joined, gave and signed up for, so nobody is kept twice.
Giving on your own site
A donate page in your own design, funds for where the money goes, appeals with a goal, and regular gifts donors change or stop themselves. The money goes to your own Stripe account.
Receipts that do themselves
A receipt goes out with each gift, carrying your organization's name and EIN when gifts are tax-deductible, and each donor can get a statement at the end of the year.
Events and sign-ups
The gala, the volunteer day, the open house: each with its own page, a sign-up form you change in plain words, and paid tickets when you want them.
Email to your supporters
The newsletter or an appeal, built from blocks and checked on a desktop and a phone before it goes, to everyone or to one group.
A site worth sharing
Your mission, your programs and your impact on a site made for you, with each page set up to be found in search and to arrive well when someone shares it.
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.
Everything a well-made site needs.
Your site stays fast, secure and current without your attention. When something needs changing, you tell us and we handle it quickly.
Two plans. Everything included.
Design, hosting, security, backups and unlimited content edits on one monthly plan. Care is just the website, at $79 a month. Grow is the full membership platform, with members, dues, events and email, at $149. Compare the plans.
We take care of your website. A fully custom-coded site, designed, hosted, secured and edited for you, with nothing to manage.
- Custom design, built for your organization
- As many pages as the site needs
- Hosting, SSL, security, backups
- Unlimited content edits (how it works)
- SEO built in
- Contact form, posts and page settings
We take care of your membership too. Everything your organization runs on, in the same place as the site.
- Everything in Care
- Members — records, membership types, applications to approve, organizations with seats, renewal reminders
- Dues and payments — through your own Stripe account, straight into your bank, with card details held by Stripe and never by your site
- Events — event pages, a calendar, sign-up forms in plain words, limits on numbers, paid tickets
- Email — a drag-and-drop builder: start from a template, drag in headings, panels, buttons and pictures, see it as a desktop and a phone, then send it to everyone, one membership type or one group
- A member portal — sign-in by emailed code, members-only pages, an opt-in directory
- Forms — booking, quote and intake, straight into your inbox
The longer you commit, the less you pay.
Every plan starts with a 12-month commitment and the setup paid today. Commit for 18 months or more and the setup is folded into the monthly instead, with nothing due today, and discounted up to 15% at 36 months. After the term, the price returns to the plan.
12-month commitment, then month to month.
Hosting, security, backups and content edits are part of the monthly plan. Anything outside it is quoted before it costs you anything.
A large site, or a lot of history to move across, means a higher one-time setup. It is quoted before anything starts, and it never changes the monthly.
The site is plain, durable code. If you ever leave, it goes with you.
What nonprofits usually ask.
We use Wild Apricot, Bloomerang or a donation plugin. Can you take it over?
Usually. We rebuild the public site on your own domain, and your members and supporters come across from a spreadsheet export, which shows you what it found before anyone is added. Recurring gifts saved with the old system stay there, so donors set them up again on your new donate page.
Do you take a percentage of donations?
No. Gifts are paid through your own Stripe account, straight into your bank, and we add nothing on top. Card details are entered on Stripe's own checkout, so your site never holds a card number.
How do updates work?
Unlimited content edits are included. Staff sign in with a code sent to their email and change words on the page themselves, add a story or an event, and send anything bigger to us, usually live the same day. Here is how an edit is sent.
What does it cost?
Care is $79 a month with a one-time $200 setup: the custom design, hosting, security, backups and unlimited content edits. Grow is $149 a month with a $500 setup and is the full membership platform: members, dues, events, email and giving on the same site. Both plans carry a 12-month minimum, and a longer term folds the setup into the monthly. Neither is priced by how many members you have.
