For Rotary clubs

The Rotary club app your Secretary will thank you for.

Rotary clubs run on a weekly meeting, a speaker programme, four or five committees, a constant stream of fundraising events, and a Secretary trying to coordinate it all on email. Comnly gives Presidents, Secretaries, and committee chairs a members-only home for meeting notices, speaker schedules, fundraising coordination, and subs payments. Members get a push notification when there is a speaker change or a fundraising shift to fill, and the committee has structured records for the year's reports.

  • Weekly meeting notices
  • Speaker programme RSVP
  • Fundraising event coordination
  • Stripe payment links for subs and events
  • Members-only feed and documents

Real scenarios

Where Comnly earns its place

Fundraising shift coordination

Christmas Santa float, charity quiz night, swimathon. Post the event with a sign-up sheet, take RSVPs by shift, send reminders the day before, and have the President's report write itself.

Annual subs and fundraising ticket sales

Attach a Stripe payment link to the subs renewal notice or the charity dinner ticket post. Members pay in two taps and the money lands directly in the club's own Stripe account. Comnly takes no commission on the payment.

Committee votes and AGM motions

Run anonymous ballots, committee votes, and AGM motions using built-in Yes/No and For/Against/Abstain templates. Results are clear and exportable for the minutes.

Features you will use

Built for the way your group actually runs

Push notifications to every member

Weekly meeting reminders, speaker programme updates, fundraising calls, and committee notices land as pushes from the club. Members do not need to check email three times a day.

Weekly meetings, speakers, and fundraisers in one calendar

Weekly meetings, speaker line-ups, committee meetings, fundraising events, and district visits all sit on one calendar with RSVP and reminders.

Committee roles with scoped permissions

President, Secretary, Treasurer, Membership Chair, Fundraising Chair, Community Chair, International Chair, and committee members each receive scoped admin permissions. Chairs can post within their committee without billing or member-management authority.

Payment links for subs and fundraising

Annual subs, charter dinner tickets, fundraising event entries, charity collections. Payments route directly to the club's connected Stripe account with no Comnly commission.

Critical notices with acknowledgement

Constitution changes, safeguarding briefings, district communications, and AGM calls can be marked critical so members must explicitly acknowledge them, with a timestamped audit trail for the Secretary.

Document library for the club year

Upload the club constitution, monthly bulletins, district circulars, fundraising reports, and AGM minutes. Members can read them on their phone with full version history.

FAQ

Common questions

Does Comnly work for Rotaract and Inner Wheel as well as Rotary?

Yes. Comnly is built for any committee-led, members-only UK service organisation. Rotary, Rotaract, Inner Wheel, Lions, and similar service clubs all map onto the same model: elected officers, weekly or fortnightly meetings, subs, fundraising, and members-only communications.

Can we run multiple committees from one club account?

Yes. Comnly supports interest groups and scoped targeting. Membership, Fundraising, Community, International, and Youth committees can each have their own posts, threads, and notices without spinning up separate accounts.

Can we collect annual subs and fundraising payments?

Yes. Attach Stripe payment links to any post. Payments route directly to the club's own connected Stripe account, with no Comnly commission. Stripe charges its standard processing fee separately.

Is Comnly affiliated with Rotary International or RIBI?

Comnly is an independent UK software product. It works for any UK Rotary or similar service club regardless of affiliation. The audit-trail acknowledgements suit governance-grade communications, including district circulars and constitution updates.

Is Comnly only for adults?

Yes. Comnly accounts are 18+ only. Rotaract and Inner Wheel work well within this; junior Interact or RotaKids style age groups are out of scope.

How quickly can we onboard the club?

Most clubs are live within a week. Send a join link out in the next weekly bulletin, or generate a QR code for members to scan at the next meeting, and let them self-onboard. No admin data entry, no ghost rows.

Why aren't members coming to weekly meetings anymore?

Weekly meeting attendance usually drops for one of three reasons: the speaker programme isn't being communicated with enough notice, members don't get a reminder on the day, or the meeting feels like a routine rather than something worth turning up for. Strong Rotary clubs publish the speaker calendar a month ahead, send push reminders the morning of each meeting, and target fundraising and committee calls by interest so members only get the asks that fit them. Comnly handles the communications layer; the speaker programme itself is the President and Vice-President's job.
