Membership and Event Management Software
Membership and event management software in one system. When a member signs in to register, their member price shows up on its own, with no discount codes to hand out. Every registration lands on the same member record as their membership. Running a full season of classes and camps? See program registration software. Running an association? See membership software for small associations.
What changes when membership and event software share one list
Four jobs that get easier when there is only one record per member.
Member pricing without codes
Members see their own price when they sign in. Nobody checks a list by hand.
One record per member
One record per member with complete history: memberships, events, payments, and family.
Family registrations
When the membership holder registers family members, each one gets the member rate automatically.
One transaction list
Membership and event payments land in the same transaction list, ready to export.
Member price, no codes
Signed-in members see their own rate
Members see their price automatically at checkout
When a signed-in member registers for an event, Communal checks their active memberships and shows the member price. Nobody has to email out a code or check names against a list at the door. Non-members see the regular price.
- Price set by the member's active membership
- No discount codes to share
- A separate price for each membership type
- Non-member price for guests
One member record
Memberships and events side by side
Memberships and event registrations on one member record
With separate tools you cannot tell which members come to events, or which event regulars later join. In Communal, a member's record holds their membership history, event registrations, payments, family members and waivers.
- One database for members and registrations
- Membership and event history side by side
- Payments on the same record
- No imports or syncing between tools
The whole family counts
Every child gets the member rate
Family registrations at the member rate
Family memberships trip up a lot of event tools. In Communal, pricing follows the member who checks out, so when a parent with a family membership registers the kids for camp, each child gets the member rate.
- Register family members in one checkout
- Each registered family member gets the member price
- Works with whatever membership types you set up
- Guest pricing for non-member families

Frequently asked questions
Communal checks the signed-in member's active memberships and shows the matching price at checkout. There is no code to enter, and the member price holds all the way through payment.
Non-members see the standard event price. Logged-out visitors also see how much members save on the program page, with a link to log in or buy a membership, which gives regular attendees a reason to join.
Yes, when the membership holder does the registering. Each family member they sign up gets the member price, and the family members do not need their own member IDs or accounts.
Yes. Each event can have its own price for every membership type you offer, plus a non-member price. Premium members might pay $10 while Basic members pay $20. Someone holding more than one membership gets the lowest price.
Open the member's record. The Programs tab lists every event and program they have registered for, next to the Memberships tab. You can also export the signup list for any event.
Yes. Non-members register as guests and pay the non-member price, and their details are saved so you can invite them to join later. To make an event members-only, turn off the non-member price.
Yes. In Communal, programs and events is an add-on module that runs on the same member records. Events read each member's active membership to set the price, and registrations show on the member record next to their membership history.
Wild Apricot and Neon CRM (Impact tier and up) also run events inside a membership database. Eventbrite and other ticketing tools keep no member records. See how nine event management tools for nonprofits compare.
