社区活动出现在每位成员的日历上
Community organizations run on word-of-mouth and missed-event forgiveness
Nonprofits, meetups, mutual aid groups, and civic organizations don't need heavy event software. A broadcast subscribe link puts every meetup, volunteer shift, and gathering on members' personal calendars — without collecting emails or running a platform.
挑战
- ✕Volunteers miss events because the schedule was in a Facebook post three weeks ago
- ✕Members don't want to hand over their email just to see when the next cleanup is
- ✕Meetup.com charges monthly fees your all-volunteer organization can't justify
- ✕Text-tree reminders skip the members most in need of the reminder
- ✕Managing a mailing list adds admin work your volunteers shouldn't have to do
WhenToMeet 如何帮助你
One tap to stay informed
Members subscribe once and every event lands in their calendar. Lowest possible friction for participation.
Free core functionality
No per-member fees. Appropriate for all-volunteer organizations with no budget.
No email collection
Subscribers stay anonymous. You don't build a mailing list you'd need to manage, secure, and eventually clean.
Schedule changes propagate
A cleanup gets rained out? Delete the event and every subscriber's calendar updates. No follow-up blast needed.
Opt out of individual events
Members keep subscriptions to the organization and skip events they can't make — without churning off the channel.
主要功能
Every member's phone works
Google, Apple, Outlook. Every phone already ships with a calendar. No new app for members to learn.
Shareable URL and QR
One link for flyers, social posts, and the community bulletin board. Print the QR code anywhere.
Your organization's branding
Logo, cover image, description. The subscribe page looks like part of your org.
Regular and special events
Weekly volunteer shifts, monthly general meetings, one-off events — all in one channel.
Members leave without asking
One-tap unsubscribe. No awkward conversation with the organizer.

Add your events
Recurring volunteer shifts, general meetings, one-off drives, and community days. Add locations and join links.
Share through every channel you have
Print the QR code on flyers, pin it in your community platform, link from your website. Every subscriber becomes a passive reminder.
常见问题
How does this compare to Meetup.com?+−
Meetup.com charges monthly fees and pushes RSVPs. Broadcast is free and uses calendar subscription instead of RSVPs. For recurring free events, broadcast often gets better real attendance.
Does it work for small rural communities?+−
Yes. Anyone with a smartphone (which is most people) can subscribe. Print QR codes on paper flyers for in-person promotion.
Can we run channels per program?+−
Yes. Run a main organization channel and separate channels for specific programs (gardening collective, tenant union, book club). Each has its own subscribe link.
How do we coordinate volunteers?+−
For sign-up and scheduling of volunteer shifts, WhenToMeet's group event polls are better. Broadcast handles the public schedule announcement.
Do members need a WhenToMeet account?+−
No. Subscribers use the broadcast link directly — no account or signup required.
Is it really free?+−
Yes, core broadcast is free. There are no per-member or per-event fees.
What about digital-literacy-low members?+−
The subscribe flow is: scan QR, tap 'add to calendar', done. Simpler than most nonprofit tools. For members without smartphones, keep the paper schedule in parallel.
