Welcome to the Orgnition blog.
We like to keep in touch with the people who use Orgnition and the not-for-profit community so here we post information about our business, our product and the sector in general.
Orgnition custom web development.
Orgnition is going through a slight change in direction. We are now focusing our energies on custom web development for the not-for-profit sector.
The change might appear subtle but for us it's a significant shift.
When we started Orgnition we wanted to make a difference for not-for-profit organisations, initially focusing on Rotary International Clubs and Districts. We [...]
Video tutorials
I've just created four new video tutorials that will guide you through the process of setting up your free Orgnition website through to editing content, adding members and inviting them to an event.
We think video tutorials are a great way to quickly demonstrate some of the features of Orgnition but they also give me [...]
New feature: event invites!
As of this week we’ve rolled out our event invites and RSVP system. All current users now have this feature, and if you’d like to sign up for your organisation you can use it too.
Let’s run through how this works and the benefits to your members.
Inviting members
Choosing to invite members brings you to the page [...]
Competition
There are a range of different competitors providing organisation management tools to non-profit organisations or even just service organisations – we're not the first people to tread upon this ground. We entered this market not only because we care about the world that we live in and believe in the work of the organisations we [...]

The Four Way Test
Josh and I had a meeting yesterday with a business woman to get some feedback on our launch plans for Orgnition. She gave us some great angles to work on, is setting up a couple of follow-up meetings and helped us to answer a tricky problem we’ve been dealing with. But instead of telling [...]
Orgnition screencast
We're getting closer and closer to launching the next version of Orgnition. While we ramp up we've taken down our website at Orgnition.com and put in a signup form. In the meantime however we're still out there talking to as many potential customers as possible, particularly larger groups who we would like to see as [...]
Measuring Not-For-Profit Efficiency
I've been researching methods of measuring not-for-profit efficiency lately. Essentially I want to know if it's possible to determine how effective an organisation in effecting change. How do you work out which is the best organisation to donate to; how do you know your money will get through to the people you're trying to help?
In [...]
Orgnition in one sentence
I've been trying to come up with a succinct way to explain Orgnition, a tagline that conveys what it is we're trying to achieve, which cuts through our copy to the core of our business. I'm almost happy with the elevator pitch but finding that one line is a fair bit harder.Â
The elevator pitch goes [...]
Rotary International Trademark Licensing
In my last past I mentioned the takedown notice that we received from Rotary International about our use of their trademarks "Rotary" and the "Rotary Emblem" at Orgnition.com, which we consider fair use. Shortly afterwards I received an email back from Rotary International asking me to describe in further detail what "product or service" Orgnition [...]
