Why Work With Orases?
Many nonprofits rely on outdated systems or rigid platforms that simply weren’t built to handle the demands of modern member-based organizations. Managing renewals, multi-tier dues, and personalized communications often becomes a juggling act across an array of disconnected tools.
Orases develops custom nonprofit membership software designed to support long-term engagement, simplify complex workflows, and help organizations increase member lifetime value through tailored digital infrastructure.
Membership Management Challenges In The Nonprofit Sector
Keeping members engaged and operations efficient becomes much harder when the underlying systems are inflexible, overly manual, or built without nonprofits in mind.
Manual Or Outdated Member Systems
Spreadsheets, patchwork plugins, or legacy databases often result in clunky workflows and frequent errors, making it hard to stay organized and respond quickly to member needs.
Complex Tier Structures & Dues
Many organizations offer different membership levels, benefits, or pricing; standard systems rarely support this flexibility without custom workarounds that cause confusion and delay.
Low Engagement & Retention
When members receive generic communication or limited value from their membership, renewal rates drop and engagement levels steadily decline year after year.
Reporting & Performance Gaps
Leadership teams often need visibility into performance by membership type, event participation, or campaign outcomes; pulling that data usually requires heavy lifting or inconsistent exports.
Compliance & Access Control
Whether it’s managing secure logins or limiting access to member-only resources, most platforms lack the controls needed to support accurate permissions and content restrictions.
Notable Features Of Our Custom Nonprofit Membership Software
The software we build reflects the way your organization operates, creating tools that simplify daily tasks, improve member experience, and provide clarity at every level.
Custom Membership Tiers
Support multiple membership types with individualized pricing, benefits, and renewal periods, making it easier to deliver personalized experiences and accommodate organizational complexity.
Self-Service Member Portal
Members can update profiles, view benefits, download receipts, and manage renewals through a branded, intuitive portal that reduces administrative work and improves satisfaction.
Automated Dues & Renewals
Handle payments and membership timelines through recurring billing, email reminders, and auto-renewal options that keep your revenue steady without requiring constant oversight.
Member-Only Content Access
Control visibility for educational content, event registration, downloads, or discussion areas using permission settings tied to specific membership tiers and roles.

Connect to tools you already rely on, such as email platforms, accounting systems, and donation processors, to keep your data flowing without duplication or manual effort.
