Who it is for
Memship is made for member-based organizations: professional associations, sports clubs, cultural organizations, and similar entities of hundreds to a few thousand members, run by volunteers or a small staff. If you are evaluating how to manage members, dues, and activities without a per-member subscription or losing control of your data, Memship is built for you. And because it is open source, you can adapt and customize it to fit exactly how your organization works.
