The membership growth machine for county organizations

Join path, recurring giving, and a reason to belong that does not depend on finding the right person at the right table.

Hardworking organizations stall when membership lives in a spreadsheet and donations live in a cash box. The machine needs a public join path, a clear offer, and a follow-up cadence.

Recurring giving beats one-time asks. Monthly content beats random posts. A scorecard for the board beats anecdotes.

CMI Membership ($499/mo) keeps hosting, county data, content drops, compliant email/SMS, and the Texas network running so your volunteers are not rebuilding the stack every election cycle.
