Charter

The modern chamber, on the record

Prove your chamber is worth it. Automatically.

Free membership software for chambers of commerce. It proves your value to the board on its own, and grows into local jobs and new residents.

No card to start. Bring your members over from your current software without losing anything.

The problem

Your chamber deserves better than the software it is stuck with.

You pay every month for tools that are clunky, dated, and silent on the one question your board keeps asking: why is membership worth it? Charter is free at the core, a pleasure to work in, and it proves the chamber's value on its own.

Free, forever

Everything a chamber needs, at no cost.

Members

The full roll, with levels, contacts, notes, and history. Fast search, a clean detail you edit in place.

Dues

Renewals that anchor correctly, automatic receipts, and gentle dunning. Card on Stripe, plus check and ACH.

Portal

Members sign in with a link, update their listing, and pay their dues. No passwords to reset.

Directory

A listing members are proud of, embeddable on your current site, with intro requests that become leads.

Charter Pro $49/mo

The report your board has been waiting for.

Charter generates a Member ROI report on its own: directory views, introductions made, members in good standing, per member and chamber-wide. Pair it with events, forms, donations, and sponsorship inventory, and the chamber finally has both the revenue tools and the proof. It even helps you grow, finding the local businesses that are not members yet.

See what is in Pro

  • A per-member value report, generated automatically
  • A board-ready version for the whole roll
  • Events, forms, and donations that earn non-dues revenue
  • Sponsorship inventory with ROI you can show
  • Prospect Finder, local businesses that are not members yet, with contact info to recruit
  • QuickBooks-ready export, every payment booked to the right account

Grow into more

Two ways to make the chamber the hub of the town.

Add-on

Charter Jobs

The local gig board your town already runs on Facebook, given a real home: open gigs that stay up, with ratings and verified neighbors. Formal job postings ride the same board, built for Google for Jobs, and every gig and hire flows back as proof.

Add-on

Charter Welcome

A small app for new residents: a warm hello, a local directory, an island map, a visit-the-town passport, and the weekly local deals, including grocery circulars, that residents actually open. The first hello, then the weekly habit.

Built to be trusted

Trusted with the roll and the money.

  • Two layers of tenant isolation, so every chamber's data is its own
  • No card data ever. All card entry happens on Stripe-hosted pages
  • Freeze, never delete. A lapse hides data and restores it on renewal
  • Billing covered by automated tests, because a wrong charge is the one thing we never ship
  • Add your whole team with roles and your own permission levels, so each person sees exactly what they should

Thinking of switching?

Bring everything.

Universal Import moves your members, dues history, and custom fields with a mandatory dry run. Nothing dropped, nothing re-keyed. Start free, so there is no period of paying for both.

How switching works

Start free. Keep everything. Look like the institution you are.
