🇺🇸 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.
