Nonprofit Event Management Software
Publish events, collect registrations, apply member pricing, manage capacity, collect waivers, track attendance, and help people discover what's on with a public events calendar — without rebuilding the process for every event.

Registration
Registration that understands members, families, and eligibility
Nonprofit events often depend on who is registering. Members may receive different pricing, families may register more than one person, and some events need eligibility rules or custom questions. Communal keeps registration tied to the member record instead of treating every attendee like a one-off ticket buyer.
- Online registration with member and non-member pricing
- Family and household registration support
- Custom event questions, files, acknowledgements, and waivers
- Payments and confirmations handled during checkout

Calendar
Help people find your events before registration opens
Nonprofit calendars often live in a PDF on the website while registrations happen somewhere else. Communal puts discovery and signup in the same flow: browse upcoming events in a month view, click through to register, or subscribe so sessions stay updated in Google Calendar or Apple Calendar.
- Month calendar on public and member program listings
- Organization-wide and single-program iCal subscription feeds
- Add to Calendar downloads on individual event pages
- Calendar entries link back to registration in Communal

Waitlist
The waitlist promotes itself
When a spot opens, the next person is notified automatically.
Capacity
Capacity, waitlists, and attendance stay operational
The work does not end when someone registers. Staff need to know who is confirmed, who is on the waitlist, who showed up, and which events are worth running again. Communal gives events the operational follow-through that generic ticketing tools usually miss.
- Capacity limits and waitlists for popular events
- Attendance sheets for sessions, drop-ins, classes, and events
- Recurring program and event support
- Instructor rosters staff can export and use on site

Connected Data
Event participation becomes part of the relationship
When events live in a separate ticketing tool, the data often stops at the export. Communal connects attendance, payments, waivers, and member pricing to the same system that runs memberships, donations, volunteers, and reporting.
- Event history connected to member and family profiles
- Payments and refunds remain part of the financial record
- Waivers and custom forms stay attached to the registration
- Participation data can inform membership and engagement work
