#AskFedi — Looking for a platform recommendation!

I help lead a small nonprofit supporting #neurodivergent #students and #parents. We are 100% volunteer, and we produce a few different series of events throughout the year.

We need better ways to communicate with (paid) members and (unpaid) “friends”.

What platform/tools could I use to, for example, let someone RSVP or express interest in an event series, check the box to get auto reminders and text notifications re: all events in that series. For example: “event is tomorrow at 9am. See you there!” or “it’s raining! We’re meeting at x instead.”

Ideally this platform could also do email. One-off campaigns/blasts with simple segmentation (members and/or friends) and maybe some automations (like a welcome flow for new members).

We can pay a reasonable amount; doesn’t have to be FOSS/self-hosted/linux/etc. 😜

(I’ve asked a similar question here before, but I think we have made progress clarifying our specific needs.)
