Keep members, collect dues, and message the hall — in one app

A branded membership app for Canadian unions and associations — retention, dues, analytics, and messaging without a stack of email lists and paper forms.

Built for membership organizations

Membership retention

Renewals, lapsed-member nudges, and a card that lives on the phone instead of a binder at the hall.

Dues & payments

Monthly dues, initiation, events, or a strike fund — members pay in the app, you keep the ticket.

Analytics

Who opened a bulletin, who is in arrears, and which locals are active — without a separate reporting tool.

Messaging

Push to the membership for votes, job calls, and hall meetings. No personal SMS list required.

Events & the hall

Post a meeting, collect signups, and keep the calendar on the same system as dues.

Admin dashboard

Staff and elected officers post, edit, and close items without a developer. We keep it running.

Frequently asked questions

Is this for Canadian unions and associations?

Yes. LocalGovy is based in Toronto. We build branded membership apps for Canadian labour unions, professional associations, and similar membership organizations — dues, messaging, events, and a dashboard your staff can run.

How do dues and payments work?

Members pay dues and fees in the app through your own checkout — Stripe or Interac, not a marketplace cut. Money settles into your organization's account. You choose the categories: monthly dues, initiation, events, or a strike fund.

Can we message members without a personal phone list?

Yes. Push notifications and in-app messages go to members who installed the app — ratification votes, hall meetings, and job postings — without a personal SMS list.

Do our staff or stewards have to run this?

No. We keep the app running. Your team still has the last say in the dashboard — post a bulletin, open a vote, or change a dues category whenever you need to.

How fast can we see a demo?

You'll see a branded demo within 48 hours of booking. Typical full launch is about two weeks. Nothing to pay until you are live.
