Limited·First 20 organizations

Founding Partner program — $3.50 per family, locked forever.

The first 20 organizations nationwide to sign up for Community lock in $3.50 per family per year — forever. Same product as standard Community. Same support. Lower rate, permanently.

In return, I ask one thing: be a reference when other PTOs ask whether this is real. That's it.

Lake Oswego School District schools: a separate Founding District program applies. Year one, I match what your school pays DirectorySpot today. Year two onward, you're at the $3.50 Founding Partner rate. 15 minutes to walk through it.

Common questions

How are we billed?
Once a year, by invoice or credit card. We invoice 30 days before your renewal date so you have time to budget. No monthly plans, no per-seat add-ons.
What if our family count changes mid-year?
We don't true-up in the middle of a contract. Add or remove families freely — we'll review the count at renewal and adjust the next year if needed.
Can we upgrade from Directory to Community mid-year?
Yes. We prorate the difference to the end of your current contract; the Community features — Circles, Clubs, volunteer matching, Broadcasts, Trusted Help, and Sponsors — turn on immediately.
Is there an annual contract?
Yes — a 12-month term that renews automatically each year. We email a renewal notice 60 days before your renewal date with the price for the coming year. You can cancel up to 30 days before renewal — we never change pricing mid-contract.
What's the Founding Partner program?
The first 20 organizations nationwide to sign up for Community lock in $3.50 per family per year — forever. Same product as standard Community ($4.50/family). The discount is permanent, not just first-year. In return, I ask you to be a reference when other PTOs ask whether this is real.
What about schools in Lake Oswego SD?
A separate Founding District program applies. Year one, Roost matches what your school pays DirectorySpot today. Year two onward, you're at the $3.50/family Founding Partner rate, locked forever. Every Lake Oswego school that signs by August 31, 2026 gets the same deal — no first-mover advantage, no later-mover penalty.
What payment methods do you accept?
Credit card, ACH, or a check sent to our business address. Many PTOs prefer ACH because it avoids credit-card fees.
