CommunityPass

What CommunityPass does

CommunityPass is a cloud-based software platform that provides online registration, payment processing, activity management, digital attendance, communications, and reporting for U.S. parks and recreation departments, schools (Pre-K through 12), aquatics facilities, community centers, JCCs, beaches, and sports leagues. The platform, founded in 2002 and operated by Capturepoint, LLC out of Ridgewood, New Jersey, is sold as tiered subscription packages — Recreation packages ranging from $3,000 to $10,000 per year across Essentials, Membership, Recreation, and Enterprise tiers, plus a custom-priced School Package — with a separate transaction-fee revenue stream via TogetherPay, an integrated Stripe-powered payment processing solution that handles ACH, credit, debit, gift card, and PayPal transactions with PCI DSS compliance. Technical architecture centers on a unified cloud platform with reusable family accounts that allow a single household profile to register across multiple participating organizations; integrated modules cover online registration, activity and facility management, digital check-in/check-out and attendance, targeted email and SMS communications, and a library of 300+ pre-built reports, supplemented by integrations with Student Information Systems for K-12 customers.

The business operates with a small team (11-50 employees) and serves more than 400 customer organizations and over 1 million end-user accounts across municipal recreation, K-12, and community programming. Distribution is primarily direct sales — both enterprise/field sales targeting larger municipal and district accounts and inside sales for mid-market customers — supplemented by a self-serve online registration layer for end-user families. Marketing is content-led (blog, webinars, case studies) with a demo-driven bottom-of-funnel conversion path. CommunityPass is founder-owned and operated under Joe Oriente through Capturepoint, LLC, with no disclosed institutional funding; an apparent TogetherWork email domain and careers board suggest potential affiliation with a vertical software roll-up.

Customer outcomes emphasized by the company include 95% online registration rates (Verona Community Services), tripled revenue and doubled programming without added staff (East Brunswick Public Schools), and a 4.5-star Capterra rating. The platform is positioned as a long-tenured, deeply configurable incumbent for niche public-sector and educational buyers who value peer references, accumulated data, and integrated workflows over cutting-edge technology.
