# BackPR for Umbrella Organizations

Source: https://backpr.com/partners. Last updated: 2026-10-21.

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.

### 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.

### Find your organization type
Each page explains how that kind of organization works, what member programs need and what your organization can share.

### What member nonprofits get
These are the facts BackPR can confirm today. Nothing here depends on a partnership being signed.

- **Free for registered nonprofits:** No subscription and no BackPR fees. Free is how BackPR works for registered nonprofits, not a trial.
- **No BackPR cut of payments:** BackPR does not add its own fee to what families pay. Card payments run on Stripe at Stripe's standard rates.
- **Absorb processing or pass it on:** A program can absorb Stripe's processing cost or pass it on as a clearly labeled convenience fee.
- **Free setup and data import:** BackPR sets up the account and brings over families and programs from a current system or spreadsheets.
- **Spanish for families:** Families can register and use parent screens in Spanish. Email support can also answer in Spanish.
- **Free templates and state rules:** Printable PDF and Word templates, plus a state rules library with sources. General information, not legal advice.

Free applies to registered nonprofits in the United States. A member that is not a registered nonprofit can request a quote. Card payments run on Stripe at Stripe's standard rates.

### A free option to share, with no budget line
There is no fee to share BackPR, and no BackPR fees for a registered nonprofit that chooses it. Standard Stripe processing fees apply.

You do not need to run a program, collect payment or manage a roster to share BackPR. Point members to backpr.com/nonprofits and let them decide.

When a member is ready, BackPR sets up the account and imports the data. The member reviews the programs, families and forms before families see them.

- A free option to share with the programs you support.
- No fee to your organization to share it.
- No BackPR fees for a registered nonprofit that chooses it. Standard Stripe processing fees apply.
- A short demo for your staff or volunteers, focused on the screens programs would use.
- Free setup and data import for each program that signs up.
- Free templates programs can use, whether or not they use BackPR.
- A state rules library programs can read and share.
- A clear answer on eligibility at sign-up.

This is an offer to share. BackPR has no partnership with any umbrella organization.

### Where the free option fits
- **Registered nonprofits:** 501(c)(3) charities, churches and faith-based organizations, nonprofit PTAs and PTOs, nonprofit camps, youth organizations, community centers, sports clubs, arts programs, nonprofit schools and school foundations. BackPR confirms status at sign-up.
- **For-profit members:** A for-profit camp, studio, league or association member does not get the nonprofit option. It can request a quote.
- **Public agencies:** Public school districts and government agencies can request a quote.
- **United States only:** BackPR is available in the United States.
- **Email support:** Support is by email at support@backpr.com. BackPR does not promise phone support, office hours or response times.
- **No long-term contract:** There is no long-term contract and no exit fee. A nonprofit can export its data at any time for free.

### Three steps, nothing to sign
- **See how the free option works:** See what a nonprofit pays, what is included and how processing works.
- **Ask about your members:** Tell us what kinds of programs you support and which ones are registered nonprofits. We'll confirm what fits.
- **Share it when you are ready:** Send members to the free option page or ask for a short demo for your staff.

There is nothing to buy and no contract to sign to share the link.
