How has the Charity Management Software Replaced the Membership Coordinators?

Usually the nonprofits will hire a person for the designation of a membership coordinator who smoothly runs the administrative processes. They deal with every aspect related to the members which includes assigning tasks, providing them services, promoting the nonprofit to catch the attention of potential visitors, etc. For a newly established charity or church it can be difficult to have a bigger staff as the fund raised is limited. Most of the time undersized charities cannot employ coordinators as they work on salary basis.  

Today, nearly all the charities are using charity management system to boost the growth of the charity in every phase. If we can use software to manage all the chores for the charity then why not use one for the membership roles? This question not only created the need of software called membership coordinator but has also provided the small charities an opportunity to manage the members even without a coordinator.


These days the online charity management software are providing packages for the administration of members through which anyone can undertake the membership roles. The software is easily replacing the needs of coordinators as by using them anyone can record the details of members, track the attendees in an event, align tasks and schedule visits. Once you make a group through these packages you can send personalized tasks, emails and messages in a few seconds. Along with data entry functions the software may include a directory or listing of all your members with the photos for identification, calendars for reporting events, street directory, etc. 

The major characteristics membership coordinator package have are as follows
  1. It connects the immediate and distant family members to each other according to the records. 
  2. It would produce a booklet style directory with photos (in case you add them) after data of the members is entered.
  3. Can map the homes of members and provide direction from the member’s house to the charity or any other destination you specify.
  4. Records the attendance and can provide graphs of the skills, tasks and visits for analyzing the participation of the members.
  5. You can create rules according to the rotas preferred by the members. 
  6. Provide information about the certifications and diplomas the members hold which can help you to choose the future leaders. 
  7. They have filters to let you access information quickly to monitor a particular group or member. You can also set the criteria according to the way your organization works to create reports. 
The nonprofit administrators can quickly connect with every individual in the organization with a membership package through text and email messaging. Utilizing software you can easily coordinate with the members of your nonprofit even if you have no experience or certification of being a coordinator. If you do not have an executive for coordinating in your nonprofit don’t lag behind and use a membership coordinator.
