🇺🇸 California
Membership software for California nonprofits, PTAs, and HOAs.
California has more registered nonprofits than any other US state and a correspondingly complex registration regime. TidyHQ handles USD dues via Stripe, tracks categorized income for AG registration and Form CT-1 filings, and keeps the admin simple enough that your volunteer board can actually do it.
Local advantages

USD payments via Stripe
Members pay in US dollars via Stripe, with ACH and card support. Funds settle to your California bank account directly.

Categorized income tracking aligns with the data you need for annual Form CT-1 renewal with the California Attorney General's Registry of Charities and Fundraisers. Keep your registration current without rebuilding records from bank statements.
CCPA-aware data handling
Member consent tracking, data export, and deletion workflows are built in, supporting California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) requirements for member-facing data.
Built for California's volunteer-heavy orgs
California PTAs, HOAs, booster clubs, and community nonprofits often run on volunteer labor. TidyHQ's free tier for small orgs and simple interface mean your committee doesn't need training.
