A real home, not just a Facebook group.
Roster, communications, city advocacy, and optional dues. Built for neighborhood associations that want a real platform without the structure of a formal HOA.
Three reasons informal associations fade by Year 3.
The work isn't the problem. The platform is. When the founder leaves and takes the email list with them, the association dies. Here's what we collapsed.
A real roster, without forcing dues.
Most neighborhood associations start informal: no fees, no formal membership. The roster lives in someone's Mailchimp or worse, a Facebook group. When the founder moves away, the list dies. We give you a real directory that doesn't require dues to exist.
- Optional dues (free tier works for non-dues-paying associations)
- Resident directory tracked per address, not by payment
- Move-in / move-out handled when residents come and go
- Export anytime — no platform lock-in
The paper trail the city actually responds to.
Neighborhood associations advocate to the city on bike lanes, speed bumps, parks, rezoning, public safety. The asks lose force when there's no defensible record of how many residents actually support them. We make sure your council letter cites real, verified residents.
- Polls and surveys with verified-resident gating
- Motion + petition archive exportable as PDF
- Position-letter templates with cited counts
- Tagged advocacy topics (transit, parks, safety, etc.)
One message, to every door.
Neighborhood associations are stretched thin: a few volunteers, maybe one newsletter editor, residents who range from email-natives to mailbox-only. Your communications need to hit both digital and print without doubling your work.
- Email blast (auto-deliverability)
- Print-ready PDF newsletter (door-stuffer ready)
- AI newsletter assistant (drafts your monthly from your activity)
- Door-stuffer route maps for volunteers
What a neighborhood organizer does on a Saturday.
Same four jobs every neighborhood-running volunteer faces. Collapse them into one platform so the work survives the next move-out.
Residents tracked per address.
Optional dues. Free if you don't collect any.
Email + print newsletter.
Reach the email-only and the mailbox-only.
Polls, petitions, council letters.
Verified-resident input. Paper trail.
Decisions stay across handoff.
Activity log + transition kit on Core.
When the founder moved out of state, our Mailchimp list was tied to her email. We had to ask 200 people to re-sign-up. We rebuilt on GetNeighbor Free that month. When the next organizer rotated in, the handoff took 20 minutes.
Questions neighborhood organizers ask first.
Anything not here, drop us a line. We answer in plain English.
We don't collect dues. Do we even need a platform?
Free tier works for associations with under 100 households and no dues. You get a member directory, the community page, basic email (500/mo), and RSVP events. Most non-dues associations stay on free indefinitely.
Our "association" is really just a Facebook group. Why move?
Facebook groups don't survive moderators leaving, don't reach non-Facebook residents, and don't let you formally advocate to the city with verified data. If your association will exist in 5 years, you need something portable. If it won't, stay on Facebook.
What if we want to add dues later?
Switch to Core ($39/mo) when you're ready. Members pay via Stripe direct to your bank, 0% platform fee. You keep your existing roster, history, and content.
Can we file as a formal association with the city using this?
We don't handle the legal filing (that's a city-specific form). But once you're filed, GetNeighbor handles the operational side: roster, communications, meeting records. Many neighborhood associations operate informally for years before filing, and that's also fine.
We have 80 households. The Free tier covers us. Why upgrade?
You probably don't need to. Free works. The upgrade to Core makes sense when you want a custom domain (your-neighborhood.org), higher email volume, or the Governance Pack for formal AGM voting.
Can we use this without formally electing a board?
Yes. Many neighborhood associations operate without elected boards — they have a few active organizers. You can grant multiple people admin access to your platform without forming a formal board. The Governance Pack only activates when you want formal AGM voting and motion archiving.
Give your neighborhood a real home.
Free for the first 100 households. No card required. No formal board required.
