The Assembly
VIP donor circles, galas, and private dinners — pooled across affiliated organizations, with the C3/C4 split enforced in code.
The Assembly sells a federated patron-circle and major-donor platform: tiered VIP memberships and exclusive events (galas, summits, private dinners) that can be pooled across a family of affiliated organizations. Annual membership subscriptions run on Stripe, member passes use QR check-in at the door, and the C3/C4 split plus quid-pro-quo receipts are enforced in the data model rather than left to staff discipline.
Who buys it
Development and advancement leadership, executive directors, and chiefs of staff at nonprofits, foundations, and affiliated 501(c)(3)/(c)(4) families.
Who uses it
Major-gift officers, events teams, and door/check-in staff; members manage their own tier, passes, and event RSVPs.
