Solutions / Service clubs

For service clubs that run on volunteers.

Membership management for Rotary clubs, Kiwanis, Lions International chapters, Optimist clubs, and other community service organizations. Built for volunteer-run treasurers who hand off every year.

Volunteer treasurer story

Hand off in 10 minutes, not 10 hours.

Most service-club platforms assume a permanent admin. Reality: your treasurer changes every year. Sembr is built for the handoff. The new treasurer logs in by magic link with their email, accepts the role transfer, and is fully operational. The previous treasurer stays in the audit log but loses write access.

No password resets. No "ask the past president for the login." No shared accounts that nobody knows the credentials for.

  • Magic-link login, no passwords to remember or share.
  • Audit log of every transaction (useful for end-of-year reporting).
  • QuickBooks Online sync (Phase 2) for the accountant's quarterly review.
  • Concierge migration included on annual plans.

FAQ

Common questions from service-club treasurers.

What happens at the annual treasurer handoff?
The new treasurer logs in by magic link, accepts the role transfer, and is fully operational. The previous treasurer stays in the audit log but loses write access. No password resets, no shared logins.
How do honorary and life members work?
They are membership statuses with $0 dues. They appear in the directory and roster, count toward governance quora, but are not invoiced. You can set custom rules per status.
Can members donate above their dues?
Yes. Members can add a donation at checkout, and donations are tracked separately for receipting purposes (CRA-compliant in Canada, IRS-compliant for US 501(c)(3) organizations).
Does Sembr work for Rotary districts?
Yes, via tenant-per-club with district-level rollup. Talk to us about the setup; pricing is per-club at standard rates with a district-level discount available.
When does the Sembr Hobbyist tier ship for clubs under 75 members?
Phase 2. The tier is scoped at $12 to $19 USD/month with the same data ownership promise but a smaller member capacity. Drop your email on the waitlist to be notified.
