Membership Application
Nonprofit
Nonprofits · Faith & Community Groups
Let people apply for a membership tier with household size, interests, and how they heard about the organization.
A “join” mailto: does not tell you whether they want a household card or just the newsletter. This template asks for a tier and interests so membership can send the right welcome, not a generic dues invoice.
Who it is for
Museums, congregations, associations, and community orgs that still approve or fulfill memberships by hand.
When to use it
Use it when joining is an application or a conversation, not an instant Stripe checkout. Donation Pledge is a gift intent. Volunteer Signup is labor, not a member record.
What this form collects
Applicant identity, tier, household size, interest checkboxes, optional source, and optional why-now notes.
- Museum or garden membership page
- Professional association new-member intake
- Congregation “join the community” form

Frequently asked questions
Does this collect dues?
No. There is no payment field. Confirm the tier, then send people to the dues page or invoice you already use.
Can a household share one application?
Yes — household size is a number. Add a second-adult name field after you clone it if you print two cards.
Should lapsed members use this form?
Yes, or add a “I used to be a member” radio after you clone it so you can match the old record.
