About Communal

Communal is built for the organizations that hold communities together: community associations, non-profits, sporting clubs, cultural centres, and summer camps. These are the groups that run on passion, volunteers, and stretched-thin budgets.

Founded in Calgary, we now support hundreds of community organizations across North America, the United Kingdom, and beyond. We stay small on purpose. When you work with Communal, you work with the people who built the platform, not a call centre.

Communal Team

Meet the team

We're small on purpose. The people below are the same people who build the product, run your onboarding, and answer your support emails.

Wade Jacques

Co-Founder

Wade co-founded Communal and leads client services, sales, and onboarding. If you book a demo or need help getting set up, you're probably talking to Wade.

Matt Elliott

Co-Founder

Matt co-founded Communal and leads product and engineering. He writes the code, shapes the roadmap, and still jumps into customer conversations when a gnarly problem comes up.

MacKenna Posey

Client Services Specialist

MacKenna came to Communal from inside the non-profit sector and spends her days helping customers get more out of the platform — from onboarding calls to the trickiest support questions.

Devon McClure

Software Developer

Devon is a full-stack developer who loves digging into gnarly technical challenges. She's the reason the platform keeps getting faster, smarter, and more reliable release after release.

Why teams choose Communal

The things that make us different from every other membership platform — and why our customers stick with us.

All-in-one platform

Memberships, donations, events, and volunteer tracking in one system. Replace four separate tools and a stack of spreadsheets with a single login.

Real people support

When you email us, you reach the people who built the product. You're not routed through a call centre or a chatbot.

Built for community, not corporate

Every feature is designed for organizations with volunteer boards, part-time staff, and real-world budgets, not Fortune 500 IT departments.

Free migration

We'll move your data from Wild Apricot, Bloomerang, Little Green Light, spreadsheets, or wherever you're stuck — at no extra cost.

Why community organizations choose Communal

Jon N.

Tuscany Community Association

Moved off generic membership software

"We are finally able to communicate with our members, run booking software and a program payment platform all in one application. The cost to our Community is very reasonable and the team is fantastic to work with."
