MembershipWorks

What MembershipWorks does

MembershipWorks is a web-based, all-in-one membership management SaaS operated by SourceFound Inc., a Texas-incorporated private company. The platform provides integrated modules for membership lifecycle administration, member directories, event calendars with registration and QR check-in, online billing via Stripe/PayPal/Authorize.net/Braintree, donations and forms, job boards, announcement boards, classified ads, and members-only content restriction. It is delivered through native plugin and embed integrations with seven CMS platforms — WordPress, Squarespace, Weebly, Wix, Duda, HTML5, and a no-code option — allowing customers to retain their existing website infrastructure while adding membership functionality.

The platform runs on Amazon Web Services (EC2 with AMI-based provisioning) and supports OAuth 2 single sign-on, GDPR/UK GDPR/Swiss FADP compliance with Standard Contractual Clauses, PCI DSS certification, and Google Analytics 4 plus Meta Pixel tracking. The technology stack is conventional LAMP-style SaaS with no AI/ML capabilities disclosed.

Revenue is generated through tiered monthly subscriptions priced by organization size and feature access, with onboarding and demo support included at no incremental cost. The go-to-market is product-led self-service with online sign-up and personal demo scheduling. Target segments are chambers of commerce, professional and trade associations, nonprofits, networking groups, and other member-driven organizations, predominantly SMBs in the United States with international compliance enabling EU/UK/Swiss customers. Ownership is founder/operator-led with no disclosed outside capital, and the team is remote-first with Texas residency requirements for select positions.
