Getting started
Starting and setting up a membership organisation from scratch.
From a group of people to an actual association
You don't need a lawyer, a boardroom and a printed constitution to start an association - that formality is exactly what stops good ones from ever getting going. Here's the practical version.
Seven kinds of membership organisation, and which one you are
A club, a professional body, a congregation and a chamber of commerce are all "membership organisations", yet almost nothing about how they run is the same. Here's a plain map of the seven main types, so you can work out which one you actually are.
How to start a membership organisation
You don't need a grand plan, a logo, or a constitution to start. You need a clear reason, a few keen people, and the willingness to do some unglamorous admin.
Run your whole membership in one place
Anggota keeps your members, renewals, payments and events together, so the admin looks after itself and you can get back to the community. Have a go - it is free to start, no credit card.
