Local chapters, centrally managed
Your organization has local chapters. Each one needs its own members, fees, and permissions. You need to see all of them from one place.
Orgo gives you a two-level chapter system with local payments, role-based access, member transfers, and an interactive map. It works for 5 chapters and 500.
How multi-chapter management actually works
Two-level hierarchy that mirrors real orgs
Parent local center at the top, local centers underneath. Each center has its own members, fees, and admins. You see the full picture from HQ.
Member transfers without the back-and-forth
Members request transfers between centers. Admins approve or deny. No spreadsheets, no lost records.
Local payments, local control
Each center can have its own Stripe account, local membership fees, and IBAN configuration. Money goes where it should.
For organizations that run on local presence
Built for associations, federations, scout organizations, and professional networks that operate through local groups. Whether you have 3 regional offices or 200 local chapters across multiple countries.
Chapter hierarchy
A two-level system that matches how your organization is actually structured. Not a flat list pretending to be a hierarchy.
Parent & local centers
Set up a Parent Local Center at the top. Create Local Centers underneath it. This mirrors how most federated organizations actually work.
Regional grouping
Group chapters by region for easier administration. Regional grouping lets you filter, report, and delegate at the right level.
Initiative centers
Create initiative centers for cross-chapter projects or working groups that don't fit the geographic model.
Center profile & address
Each center stores its name, address, and geographic coordinates. Used for the map, for member assignment, and for public display.
Member assignment & transfers
Members belong to centers. They can request to move. You approve it. That's the whole workflow.
Center assignment
Assign members to a local center. View all members belonging to any given center in one list.
Member preferences
Members set their preferred local center in their profile. Admins can see and update these preferences.
Transfer requests
Members submit a transfer request to move between centers. The request goes through an approval workflow. History is preserved.
Waitlist per center
When a center has limited capacity, enable a waitlist. Members join the queue and get notified when a spot opens.
Local payments & fees
Chapters with their own legal entity get their own payment setup. Chapters without one use the parent's. Both work.
Local Stripe integration
Each center can connect its own Stripe account. Payments go directly to the local entity. No manual splitting required.
Per-center fee settings
Set membership fees at the center level. Different chapters can charge different amounts based on local costs.
IBAN configuration
Configure IBAN details per center for bank transfers. Supports Native, EUR, USD, and CHF account types.
Combined billing
Organization-level fees and local fees coexist. Members see what they owe and where the money goes.
Permissions by level
The right people see the right data at the right level. Local admins manage locally. HQ sees everything.
Three-tier permissions
Three permission levels: Tenant (organization-wide), Parent Local, and Local. Each level controls what admins can see and do.
Local admin roles
Assign roles like ADMIN_LOCAL, HR_LOCAL, or FINANCIAL_LOCAL. Each role has specific capabilities within its center.
Scoped visibility
A local financial officer sees payment data for their center only. A regional admin sees all centers in their region. Visibility matches responsibility.
Central control
Organization admins manage the permission structure from one place. Changes propagate down the hierarchy automatically.
Chapter map
See all your chapters on a real map. Embed it publicly. Let people find their nearest center.
Interactive map
Every center with geographic coordinates appears on an interactive map. Zoom in and out. Click a pin to see center details.
Search & filter
Search and filter centers on the map by region, name, or other criteria. Find any chapter in seconds.
Embed on your website
The map is iframe-ready. Embed it on your public website so visitors can find their nearest chapter without logging in.
Center info on click
Each pin shows the center's name, address, and location. Members and visitors get the information they need at a glance.
Common questions about chapter management
Orgo uses a two-level hierarchy. You create a Parent Local Center at the top, then add Local Centers underneath it. Each Local Center has its own members, admins, fees, and payment settings. You can also group centers by region for easier filtering and reporting.
This structure works for national federations with regional branches, scout organizations with local troops, and professional associations with city chapters. If your organization has a parent body and local groups, it fits.
Members submit a change request through their profile. The request specifies which center they want to move to. A local or organization admin reviews and approves (or denies) the transfer. The member's history stays intact. No data is lost.
If the destination center has a waitlist enabled, the member joins the queue instead of transferring immediately.
Yes. Each center can connect its own Stripe account, so payments go directly to the local entity. You can also set local membership fees that differ from the organization-wide fee. For bank transfers, each center can configure its own IBAN in Native, EUR, USD, or CHF formats.
Centers without their own legal entity can use the parent organization's payment setup. Both models work within the same system.
Permissions operate at three levels: Tenant (the whole organization), Parent Local Center, and Local Center. At each level, you assign specific roles like ADMIN_LOCAL, HR_LOCAL, or FINANCIAL_LOCAL. A local admin can manage members and settings within their center but cannot see data from other centers.
Organization-level admins see everything. This means a chapter treasurer only sees their chapter's finances, while HQ sees all chapters at once.
Every center with geographic coordinates shows up on an interactive map. You can zoom, search, and filter by region or name. Click any pin to see the center's name, address, and details.
The map is iframe-ready. You can embed it on your public website so visitors find their nearest chapter without needing to log in or contact you.
Go to the Local Centers section in your admin panel. Click "Create" and fill in the center's name, address, and coordinates. Assign it to a Parent Local Center and optionally a region. The center is live immediately.
From there, you can configure local fees, connect a Stripe account, set up a waitlist, and assign local admin roles. Each of these is optional. You can start simple and add settings as the chapter grows.
