Can memberships operate without donations?
Modules follow the actual activity. Registration, subscriptions and events can launch first, with donation management added only when needed and authorized.
How are volunteer hours recorded?
Hours can link to an opportunity, attendance and approving supervisor, with change history keeping unreviewed hours out of final reports.
Can beneficiary data be restricted from other members?
Beneficiary permissions are separated from membership and volunteer access. Aggregated reports can support administration without exposing personal records to unauthorized users.
