Pillar 1 of 3 · Workspace

Workspace. The cockpit your org has never had.

Most volunteer-run orgs run on group texts, shared Google Docs, and a board chair's memory. Workspace replaces all of that with one shared cockpit — an overview that shows you the whole org at a glance, a calendar your whole board subscribes to, project boards for every fundraiser and event, and a personal task list that follows you.

Built for: The board chair who lives in twelve group texts, three spreadsheets, and a personal calendar.

What's inside

Six modules. One shared cockpit.

Every Workspace module lives behind the same login as Revenue and Operations. Nothing to sync. Nothing to wire up.

Overview dashboard

Org-at-a-glance on every login: revenue this season, upcoming events, who's on shift, what's overdue. No more chasing reports.

Shared calendar

One calendar for the whole org — game days, board meetings, fundraisers, volunteer shifts. Subscribe via .ics from any phone or laptop.

Roundtable

Private real-time chat for everyone with admin or staff access. Category-scoped threads, reactions, read tracking, and presence. No more 'did anyone see the email from last Tuesday?'

Messages

Send a one-off email as your organization — branded, with a contact picker for participants, volunteers, and donors — and see every message in one place. Manual sends and automated system emails (receipts, reminders, confirmations) share a single audit trail with delivery status.

Project boards

Drag-and-drop Kanban boards for season prep, game-week runs, banquet planning, and committee work. Color-coded labels, priority pills, rich-text checklists, attachments, and assignees.

My Tasks

Every card assigned to you, across every board. Filter, prioritize, knock them down. Deep-links from a task open the card detail directly.

A real day with Workspace

Monday morning. Eleven minutes.

It's Monday. Maria, the board chair, opens HometownLift. Overview tells her $2,140 came in over the weekend, fourteen volunteer shifts are confirmed for Friday's game, and the banquet board has two cards waiting on her. She clicks into the Game Week board, drags the concession-stand prep card to Sarah, and adds three items to her Tuesday checklist. Then she opens My Tasks, marks two cards done from over the weekend, and her phone is back on the counter inside eleven minutes. Before HometownLift, that same loop was forty-five minutes spread across four apps.

What this replaces

The old stack vs. one cockpit

Before HometownLift

  • Twelve group texts you can't search
  • Three Google Docs that disagree
  • An Asana for the planning committee that nobody opens
  • A board chair who *is* the calendar

With Workspace

  • One overview screen with everything live
  • One calendar the whole board subscribes to
  • Project boards per fundraiser and event, with templates
  • Tasks that find you, not the other way around

The other two pillars

Free to start
