Your fraternity or sorority chapter’s dues payments are what keep your greek life organization afloat, but they can also be a real source of pain (yes, we feel you). So, how can you make collecting dues from your members painless? We’ve got a few tips that will help make collecting dues simple, quick, and efficient.
Have you found yourself chasing after members for dues payments and dealing with spreadsheets and scattered apps to help you keep track of it all? With reminders, various payment methods, and installments for certain members, dues payments can easily become a dreaded, time-consuming task.
For your members, dues can get tricky too, especially if they rely on family or other non-members for help with funds.
So, how can you make collecting dues easier for your fraternity or sorority?
Well, for starters, you’ll want to find a method for keeping everything organized. The thing is, when you’re relying on various platforms to keep track of dues, it’s pretty hard to stay organized — even with the best efforts.
So, really, the answer lies in using a good system. A system that acts as the single source of truth where you can see everything dues-related — payment requests, payment statuses, and member information.
It doesn’t matter if you have ten or 400 members in your fraternity or sorority — having your chapter’s finances organized in one place will make everything easier to manage.
We created a mobile-friendly banking and finance app specifically designed for clubs, groups, and other nonprofit membership clubs that makes it simple to manage organizational funds.
With our app, you’ll have everything you need to manage, track, and analyze your club’s finances in one, easy-to-use dashboard.
So how does collecting dues work with Crowded?
It takes just a few clicks to set up a dues payment request. You’ll start by naming your payment, entering your payment description, and then shooting off the payment request to all of your club members (you can create payment groups for different classes or send one payment request to all of your club members).
Your members will get a push notification on their mobile with their dues payment request and they’ll be able to pay with a credit card, debit card, or an ACH transfer. They can also send a payment link to a non-member who isn’t on the app to complete the payment for them.
Finally, you’ll be able to track and view payment statuses in one place as well as send push notification reminders to members who are overdue on their dues payments.
With Crowded, collecting chapter dues becomes a quick, organized, and seamless process.
So you’re probably wondering, how much does it cost my chapter to use Crowded?
Setting up a Crowded account is free — we don’t have any signup fees, everyday account fees, or minimum balances.
