For umbrella organizations
A free option to share with the programs you support
Statewide afterschool networks, camp associations, faith organizations, youth sports leagues, fiscal sponsors, national youth organizations and PTA councils support programs that all need the same basics: online registration, card payments and a clear record of who signed up. BackPR is free for registered nonprofits. This page explains what you can share, what it costs and how to start.
What a nonprofit pays
Free applies to registered nonprofits in the United States. Other organizations can request a quote.
Who this is for
Organizations that support many programs
If your organization helps member programs with tools, training or back-office work, this page is for you.
The segments below have different members and different relationships with them. A statewide network may support school-based sites and community centers. A camp association may have nonprofit and for-profit camps. A fiscal sponsor may sit between a project and its funders.
The common ground is the work your members do. They register families, collect payments and keep track of who is coming. A free option for the nonprofits among them is useful, as long as it is clear about who qualifies.
BackPR is not asking for an endorsement, a national rollout or a paid membership. It is offering a free option you can share, a short demo for your team and help with imports when a member switches.
