For clubs that outgrew the newsletter

Build a website and an app for a nonprofit

People who have not joined need a public page. People who have need the next date and what they owe. Eqlo writes both from the club you described, without a development budget. Five projects stay free, with one seat and no card.

Nonprofit club website showing how to join, the next run and a dues status
The public home after the first draft: how to join, the next date, and a way to write.

The three things your customers look for

How to join

A public page a stranger can finish: who you are, when you meet, what it costs, a form. Donors do not need a login. Members do. One Postgres database can serve the site and the app.

The next date

The group chat keeps the jokes. The hour stops living in a scrollback. A calendar on the public site, and a tab in the app for people who already joined. Push notifications reach the phone when a start moves.

What they owe

A status the member can open, and a pay button on the association Stripe account. Eqlo does not take a cut of dues. The treasurer and the member should see the same number.

Illustrative scenario

A worked example

This is an illustrative scenario, not a named client. A 300-member running club types weekly runs, how to join, dues twice a year, and a notice when a start moves. Eqlo proposes a public site and member screens in the same project. The committee tests the app with a QR code that lasts 24 hours, before they pay Apple or Google anything. The public site still handles how to join. The app handles the people who already did. A reduced Eqlo rate is a mail to hello@eqlo.app, not a number on this page.

The pages this trade needs

Home

Who you are, when you meet, one button. A photo of the last run beats a stock handshake.

How to join

The amount, the period, the form. Authentication by email, Google, or Apple when the project has accounts.

Calendar

The next dates a stranger can read. Google Calendar can stay the source. Asked for in one sentence.

About the committee

Roles, not a novel. Enough to write to a named seat. The contact form sits here or on its own page.

Member screens, if you want the app

Directory, dues, notifications. Native tabs, a 24-hour QR test, signed builds on Plus at $19. The Apple and Google accounts stay in the association name.

The features that change the week

One project for the site and the app

One database. Donors stay on the public page. Members open a tab. Content updates on the app do not go back through store review.

Dues on the association account

Stripe, never an Eqlo middle account. Automatic invoices stay there. Write to hello@eqlo.app if you want to talk about a reduced Eqlo rate. We do not publish a number here.

A domain you can print on the flyer

Plus at $19, three seats, your domain, DNS, and an SSL certificate. Free keeps the Eqlo subdomain through the first season.

Backups while the season runs

Project backups are kept for 30 days in the region you pick at creation: European Union, United States, or United Kingdom. That is not a substitute for exporting before a big membership import, but it is a safety net when someone edits the wrong dues field on a Sunday. Five free projects let a committee try the member app before anyone pays Plus at $19.

Frequently asked questions

Do we need an app on day one?

No. A public site with how to join and the next date is enough for many clubs. The app becomes useful when the hour must live on a phone.

Is there a nonprofit discount?

Write to hello@eqlo.app with the status. We do not publish a numbered discount here. Apple, Google, and Stripe accounts stay yours.

Can donors and members share one project?

Yes. Donors stay on the public pages. Members sign in. One Postgres database serves both.

What does the free plan include?

Five projects, one seat, hosting on an Eqlo subdomain, a 24-hour QR test, no card. Signed store builds sit on Plus at $19, three seats.
