An online tool designed to asist non-profit groups in tracking
income and expenditure associated with group activities.

SmallGEMS was developed to meet the needs of a small computer user group that found that no-one particularly wanted to take on the role of Secretary/Administrator. Sound familiar?

       

Small community groups typically meet once a month, attendence is recorded in a book passed around the group, someone writes down the minutes - sweet, it's not that hard. However when the nature of the group is such that they charge a nominal fee to cover meeting expenses the record keeping becomes a little more complicated.

Receive payments such as:

  • meeting attendance
  • annual membership
  • sale of t-shirts or raffle-tickets

Record expenses such as:

  • guest speaker fees
  • venue hire
  • equipment hire or purchase
  • administrative sundries

Ideal for...

  • Computer user groups
  • Gaming-Lan clubs
  • Film Clubs
  • Uni interest clubs
  • Sporting clubs

All non-profit associations or groups that receive payments for meetings or other activities.

Computer user or general interest groups usually charge an annual membership fee and/or entry-to-meeting fee to cover expenses such as venue-hire, guest-speaker fees, refreshments, advertising, and other sundry administrative costs. It then becomes important to have records of meetings, membership, income and expenditure to present a clear picture of the financial status of the group to all members and/or comply with the "rules of association" legislation for non-profit organisations.

SmallGEMS is very simple to use

Once SmallGEMS has been installed on your web-hosting service* you can begin adding your member's details and start recording income and expenses. You can also include data from past events (meetings, sales, expenses) and track all activities for the current financial year*.

Display or print daily, weekly, monthly or yearly reports including subtotals and profit/loss balance.

* Notes: this system is not a complex financial management tool, it is intended for very simple, basic tracking of group meeting activity. Requires web-hosting services that provide access to mySQL and PHP4 or higher.
