Membership Management Built for Organizations That Give Back

Turn donors into members. Track venue benefits. Run live engagement events. NextWave gives nonprofits the same membership tools that commercial brands use — without the commercial price tag.

The Challenge
  • Donors come through GiveLively but there's no way to convert them into trackable members
  • Partner venue discounts are manually verified — error-prone and time-consuming
  • Galas and fundraisers have no digital infrastructure — paper raffle tickets and guesswork
  • No feedback loop — no way to know how attendees felt about the event
  • Donor data scattered across GiveLively, Mailchimp, and spreadsheets
The NextWave Solution
  • GiveLively webhooks auto-create donor-members with tier assignment and expiration
  • QR campaigns for event signups, fishbowl prize drawings, and post-event feedback ratings
  • Three live experience blocks on the big screen — opportunity drawings, celebration sets, and audience voting
  • 🌊👋WaveTouch membership cards and table stands — tap to donate at gala tables, tap to verify benefits at partner venues, tap to enter prize drawings
  • Sign-up lists for volunteer committees, program campaigns, and event groups — with tier-based slot limits and participant discussion
  • All data in your own database — no SaaS lock-in, full export at any time

Donor-Member Management

Auto-create members from donation webhooks. Track tiers, benefits, and expiration — no manual data entry.

Live Event Experiences

Three experience blocks: Opportunity Drawing with four modes and confetti reveals, Celebration Set for milestone moments, and real-time audience voting on the big screen.

Fishbowl & Signup Campaigns

QR-powered fishbowl drawings replace paper raffle tickets. Signup campaigns for membership drives. Each campaign gets its own branded landing page.

Event Feedback Ratings

Project a QR code at the end of a gala or fundraiser. Attendees tap a star rating on their phone. Real-time sentiment data in your dashboard.

Donation Webhooks

GiveLively and Stripe webhooks auto-create members, assign tiers, and set expiration — no manual processing.

Sign-Up Lists

Create sign-up lists for volunteer committees, recurring program series, and event groups. Tier-based slot limits control access. Public landing pages with participant communication and role management.

Renewal & Retention

Automated renewal reminders before expiration. Track donor retention, re-engagement, and lifetime giving.
