Quick Info for IT People
Non-profit organizations frequently struggle with multiple database systems and unwieldy tech solutions that only half work. We specifically designed Wild Apricot to provide a bullet-proof one-stop solution for growing clubs, associations and N4Ps. Users require minimal training and hand-holding to build their own web site and take advantage of a host of integrated features meant to automate routine jobs.
Here's why more than 1,000 non-profits have already signed on:
Membership Management
- N4P members can join, renew their membership, pay dues or update contact information on a single online database. No more duplicate data entry.
- Membership lists, event attendance lists and volunteer lists are automatically updated with no effort on the client's part.
- Clients can customize proyfessional reports without calling you. Easy-to-change fields allow them to track membership by industry, level of donation, pet name...whatever they deem important.
- No need for extra servers or backup equipment, since Wild Apricot is hosted in a commercial server farm.

"This year we decided to try out Wild Apricot to handle the hassle of event registrations for our annual Computer Refurbishers Summit. I'm no computer whiz, just your average Microsoft Word user, but I found it extremely easy and user-friendly. Most importantly, I spent 50% less time this year getting everyone registered compared to previous years."
— Willie Cade, International Computer Refurbishers Summit
