We build software for community organizations.

Communal is membership and operations software for community associations, nonprofits, clubs, cultural centres, and camps. Most of them run on volunteers and tight budgets, and we build with that in mind.

We are based in Calgary and work with hundreds of organizations across North America and the UK. A lot of what we build started as a request from a customer. When you need help, you talk to someone on our team.

Meet the team.

We build the product, run onboarding, and answer support ourselves, so what you tell us reaches the people who can act on it.

Wade

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

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

Associate Client Success Manager

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.

Dan

Head of Sales

Dan has been in the space for over a decade, helping organizations improve their day-to-day through software. If you rely on spreadsheets, janky tools, and a prayer, Dan will offer moral support and a better way.

We are hiring. See open roles and apply.

Why organizations stick with us.

A few things we do differently from most software companies.

Built around how community groups work
We design for what associations, nonprofits, and member groups do every week: renewals, program registration, hall bookings, and volunteer shifts.
Your feedback reaches the people who build
The people who answer your support emails work next to the people who write the code. When something is stuck, the right person hears about it.
Made for volunteers and small staffs
We build for volunteer boards and part-time coordinators, so the software has to work without an IT department.
Migration included
We move your data from Wild Apricot, Bloomerang, Little Green Light, or spreadsheets at no extra cost.

We plan to be doing this for a long time. If something is not working for you, tell us.

From teams who stopped taping tools together.

Community associations, rec centers, and member-based nonprofits across North America moved to Communal when their spreadsheet, booking calendar, and payment system stopped keeping up.

“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.”
