Memberships

Overview

Many non-profit organizations offer multi-level membership programs to raise funds while offering special access to benefits unavailable to the general public. This leads to an increase of funding that fosters a sense of ownership in the mission.

Sumac Memberships streamlines the handling of multi-tiered member programs, automatically processing payments, renewals and benefits instead of using staff resources to sort through stacks of information. Built-in reports are used to increase new members and prevent lapsed commitments, creating a stronger, more involved membership base.
