An Operating Workspace for Historic Societies
Members, events, volunteers, sponsors, money, and messages in one place, built for small organizations that run on volunteers, relationships, and institutional memory.
One Record for Every Person You Know
Members, volunteers, donors, sponsors, and attendees all land in the same contact record, so the society stops keeping five lists of the same people.
Member Records
Track membership levels, renewal dates, statuses, households, notes, and engagement history in one place instead of one volunteer’s spreadsheet.
Forgiving Spreadsheet Import
Bring in a messy, hand-kept roster. Memml splits combined names and addresses, tolerates several emails in one cell, and shows exactly what will be imported before it writes anything.
Committees and the Board
Record who serves on the board and each committee, in which seat, and when their term is expected to end. Open seats show up as vacancies, and you can publish a public roster.
Duplicate Cleanup
Merge two records for the same person and keep all of their history. People can have alternate email addresses, so they are recognized however they sign up.
Partners and Contacts
Keep local businesses, vendors, sponsors, and community partners connected to the right people, conversations, and next steps.
Member Portal
Members can sign in to check their own membership status without calling the membership chair.
Plan It Once, Publish It Everywhere
Public programs, board meetings, workdays, and fundraisers live on one calendar that feeds your website, your RSVPs, your volunteer sheets, and your attendance records.
Central Calendar
Public events, internal meetings, and project dates in month and week views. Copy last year’s event, and its volunteer positions, instead of starting over.
Free Event RSVPs
Open registration with capacity limits, named or unnamed guests, and up to five custom questions. Attendees get confirmations and a day-before reminder, and you get a roster to print or export.
Attendance and Sign-In Sheets
Print a sign-in sheet for any event, then record who actually came, including walk-ins with their contact details. Committee meetings start from the committee roster.
In Person, Online, or Both
Give an event a physical location, a meeting link, or both. Online-only events are first-class, and the meeting link goes where it should.
Saved Venues
Optionally keep a list of the places you use, attach them to events, and get a warning when two events want the same room at the same time.
Public Calendar and Feeds
Each published event gets its own public page. Calendar, RSS, and JSON feeds keep your website current without anyone retyping event details.
Volunteer Sign-Up Without the Ads or the Accounts
A simple public sign-up sheet where every helper becomes a contact in your records, instead of vanishing into a separate sign-up site.
Public Sign-Up Sheets
Publish positions and shifts for any event. Volunteers claim a slot with no account and no password, and can add the shift to their own calendar.
Coverage at a Glance
See which positions are filled, which are thin, and who is on the waitlist. Coordinators are notified as people sign up or drop out.
Young Volunteers
Set minimum ages, link minors to a parent or guardian, and collect consent before they help.
Hours and Statements
Record volunteer hours after each event, export them for reports, and let volunteers print their own hours statement for school or employer programs.
Self-Service Manage Page
Volunteers open an emailed link to see and change their own shifts. No login to forget, and no path into your internal records.
Keep Every Initiative Moving
Events, fundraisers, grants, and restoration work each get a workspace with their own sponsors, budget, tasks, files, and history.
Projects
Organize each event, fundraiser, grant, or campaign with its dates, lead, budget, sponsors, tasks, and activity together.
Sponsor Pipeline
See where every sponsor stands, from prospect to paid, with sponsorship levels and personal outreach that stays tied to the helper responsible for it.
Sponsor Benefit Tracking
Record what each sponsor was promised, such as race entry codes, and track what has been set up and delivered so no benefit is forgotten.
Sponsorship Proposals
Create proposals and partnership documents connected to the right project and partner, with the relationship history attached.
Tasks With Owners
Turn board decisions and volunteer commitments into tasks with an owner, due date, and priority. Work in a table or on a kanban board.
Activity History
Calls, emails, meetings, decisions, payments, and attendance leave a durable record, so the next president does not start from scratch.
Know What Came In and What Went Out
Keep a practical record of money for the treasurer and the board. Record checks and cash by hand, and turn on online payments through your own Stripe account when you are ready.
Invoices
Invoice sponsors and partners and track what has been paid. Recipients open their invoices from an emailed link with no account, and a fully paid invoice marks the sponsor as paid.
Donation Page
A simple public donation page, optionally tied to a project. Donors can choose to cover the processing fees.
Bills and Expenses
Track vendor bills and due dates, and keep a complete record of what the organization owes and has paid.
Payment Records
Link payments to invoices and bills, record offline payments, and keep enough history for reconciliation and board reports.
Project Budgets
Plan a project budget and compare it against sponsorships, donations, in-kind support, and expenses as they come in.
Write to Your People in Your Own Words
Send plain, personal messages to your members, registrants, and volunteers from inside Memml, with consent and unsubscribes handled for you.
Group Email
Tell your members about the general meeting, send a test to yourself first, and skip people who have already RSVP’d. Or open the same message in your own email program instead.
Mailing Lists and Consent
Keep member notices separate from optional updates. Everyone gets an email preferences page, and an unsubscribe is recorded and honored.
Message Registrants and Volunteers
Reach everyone who RSVP’d or signed up to help at an event. Cancellation, postponement, and changed-detail notices reach everyone who registered.
Email Templates
Reusable, personal drafts for sponsor outreach and benefit delivery, filled in with the sponsor, contact, and project details.
Short Links
Create short, shareable links for payment pages, sign-ups, and flyers, and see how many times each one was clicked.
Only as Much Software as You Need
Memml is meant for volunteer-led groups with limited time. Turn on what you use, invite helpers freely, and keep sensitive records protected.
Turn On Only What You Use
Membership, volunteers, finance, committees, venues, and projects are modules. Hide the ones you do not need and the workspace gets simpler. Nothing is deleted.
Access That Fits the Role
Owners, finance helpers, operations leads, coordinators, and basic volunteers each see and do what their work requires.
Guided Setup
A short first-run setup walks a new organization through its details and the parts of Memml it wants to use.
Private by Default
Every organization’s records are kept separate, public pages show only what you publish, and outside people never get a path into your internal workspace.
