Your community is scattered
People are split across chats, social groups, and outdated lists. Nobody has one reliable place to find the community.
Bring profiles, groups, events, and updates into one searchable home.
Give your community a home, at no cost to your institution.
AlumUnion helps institutions build, organize, and grow thriving communities, including alumni, former students, members, supporters, and stakeholders.
Free for your institutionWe handle setupYour branding, your community
See what your community actually gets.
Member portalEverything that matters, when you arrive.
A simple member home brings the next useful actions together.
New from your community
The September gathering recap and photos are ready.
Seven member-facing experiences. Nothing here sends a payment, application or request.
Your community should not run on scattered chats, stale spreadsheets and payment screenshots.
One trusted place for people, activity and money is what most community teams are missing.
Member records are incomplete
Old spreadsheets and screenshots cannot show who is active, where people are, or how to reach them.
Build a trusted member directory searchable by name, year, group, and location.
Contributions are still tracked by hand
Payment screenshots leave finance teams matching names, amounts, and messages by hand.
Give every campaign, contribution, and payment a clear digital record.
Specifically, if you’re running this over WhatsApp
Caps at 1,024 members
WhatsApp groups max out at 1,024 people. Even larger community spaces eventually become difficult to organize and grow.
Search finds words, not people
Looking for last year's fundraiser announcement, or a member by chapter or city? WhatsApp can search messages, but there's no directory to filter, so you scroll and ask around.
Real fraud risk
UK Action Fraud logged 636 reports of WhatsApp group-chat scams in H1 2024 alone, often someone impersonating a member to solicit money.
No directory, no data
No member directory, no RSVP tracking, no dues collection, and no engagement analytics in one place.

hello@alumunion.comIs it really free?
Yes. There's no setup fee, no monthly bill, and no per-member charge to run your community platform. We handle the details on our side, you focus on your community. Fees apply to online payments and are shown before payment.
How long does setup take?
Submit the onboarding form and our team will typically reach out within one business day. We work with you on branding, member records, and payment setup, and agree the next steps to get your portal ready to launch.
Can we use our own domain or subdomain?
Yes, every institution gets a branded subdomain out of the box, and a custom domain can be configured for your institution as well.
What if our community currently coordinates over WhatsApp or spreadsheets?
Import your existing contact list, invite your members, and bring your directory, events, dues, jobs, and updates into one place built for it. You can keep your WhatsApp groups for everyday conversation while AlumUnion keeps your community's records organized.
Is our member data secure?
Every institution's data is isolated from every other institution's on the platform, with role-based access control for your admin team.
Can we see it before deciding?
Yes. Try the directory and event RSVP preview on this page, then choose ‘See a walkthrough first’ in the form below. Our team can walk you through a live portal. The preview uses example data, and a walkthrough enquiry does not accept the Institution Agreement.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. It's a responsive web app that works in any phone browser, no app store download required, and members can install it to their home screen straight from the browser for an app-like experience.
