Running your organisation
Governance, volunteers, software, and the day-to-day of running things.
The membership form nobody finishes, and the twelve fields that fix it
A registration form is the first thing an organisation ever asks a member to do, which makes twenty-three fields a statement about how the next two years are going to go.
What actually belongs on a membership card
A member card is one of the few things an organisation hands over that people keep in a wallet for years, which is exactly why the wrong seven fields on it are so hard to take back.
How to write an LPJ your committee will actually finish
The format of a Laporan Pertanggungjawaban is the easy part. The hard part is the fortnight of archaeology that goes into one when nobody wrote anything down at the time.
Writing a donation letter people actually answer
Indonesians give away a larger share of their income than almost anyone on earth, so generosity is not your problem - the letter is. What works here is a proposal, not a mailshot, and it is built differently.
Handing over a role so it does not die with you
Most volunteer roles live entirely in one person's head, which means every handover is really a small extinction event. Here is how to make a role transferable while you are still in it.
Member data: what to collect, and what you are now responsible for
Every field you add to a membership form is a small promise. Indonesia's personal data law made those promises legal ones. Here is the plain version for a small organisation.
Moving off the spreadsheet without losing anything
The spreadsheet got you here and it deserves some respect. Here is how to move a membership list into a real system without a bad week, and how to tell when you are ready.
The best free membership software - and what 'free' really costs you
Free membership tools come in three flavours, and each charges you somewhere - your evenings, a member cap, or maintenance. Here's how to spot the catch and when paying a little actually saves money.
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.
