Registration
Program signups that build the participant list
Participants and contacts register online with a custom form per program, an e-signed waiver, and one-cart checkout for groups. Your list builds itself — no clipboard and no double entry.

HometownLift is the operating system for small, volunteer-run organizations. Stop juggling five apps — run fundraising, memberships, sponsors, volunteers, and equipment from one dashboard. Three pillars. One login. Raise more. Keep more. Run less admin.
The three pillars
Workspace, Revenue, Operations.
HometownLift mirrors how a small org actually runs: a Workspace for the organization, a Revenue layer that takes in every dollar, and an Operations back office that keeps the whole thing legitimate. Click any pillar to see what's inside.
Get started
Launch your whole operation — not just a campaign page.
Tell us about your program and we'll get you onboarded with the full platform: fundraising, memberships, sponsors, volunteers, and equipment, all under one login.
Your full operating system
Every moving part of your org, in one platform.
Fundraising is one piece. HometownLift also runs your registration, memberships, sponsor program, event ticketing, raffles, concessions, merch store, volunteer scheduling, Equipment Accountability, Roundtable, and donor CRM — all from a single login, with automated outreach handling the follow-up.
Volunteering
Volunteer scheduling, built in
Stop juggling SignUpGenius, group texts, and a parent-volunteer spreadsheet. Create shifts, track credit hours, and let families sign themselves up — right where your fundraising already lives. One platform, one login, one less app to babysit.
Ticketing
Gate-ready ticketing
Buyers get individual QR codes. Volunteers scan at the gate. One tap, one admit, zero paper.
Buyer’s ticket
Volunteer scans
Equipment
Equipment Accountability, built in
Issue equipment and supplies to participants or members in one tap. Track what’s out, what’s back, and charge for lost or damaged items — so resources come back or the budget gets made whole.
Concession stand
Built-in concession & snack bar
QR-code ordering at the event. Guests tap, pay, and pick up. Zero cash, zero lines, real-time inventory.
Raffle
Raffle nights, reimagined
Sell tickets online before the event. Run a live spin wheel during the program. Winners revealed instantly.
Project boards
Project boards, built in
Plan every fundraiser, program, and event with drag-and-drop boards. Color-coded labels, priority pills, rich-text checklists, and assignees — stop running the organization out of a group text.
Plus everything else small orgs actually need
Roundtable
Private chat for your board & staff
Real-time, category-scoped threads with reactions and read tracking — so decisions stop living in twelve unsearchable group texts. Everyone with admin or staff access is in the room.
Memberships
Recurring dues, on autopilot
Launch monthly or annual membership tiers. Members self-serve signup, manage their own subscriptions, and see renewal dates in a member portal. Your board finally gets a real recurring-revenue line.
Sponsor program
Self-serve sponsor tiers
Build a Gold / Silver / Bronze ladder, or fully custom tiers. Sponsors sign themselves up, pay by card, and appear on your public sponsor wall. No more chasing checks or updating PDFs.
Donor CRM
Every donor, in one place
Lifetime giving, contact info, and full history per donor. Filter, segment, and export for your board, your accountant, or your next appeal.
Participant pages
Every participant, member, or group
Individual fundraising pages per participant with personal share links and a public leaderboard. Optional anonymous opt-in for donors who want to stay off the board.
Automated outreach
Year-end statements & win-backs
Tax statements auto-send every January. Pledge reminders chase the stragglers. Lapsed-donor re-engagement brings back donors who haven't given in 1–3 years — all without a volunteer touching it.
Reporting & payouts
Board-ready, accountant-clean
Excel exports by tax year. Stripe Connect payouts in ~2 business days straight to your org's bank. Role-based access so admins, participants, and volunteers each see only what they should.
