For Nonprofits
Turnout helps nonprofits put a live events calendar on their own website, collect RSVPs in one place, and stop relying on Google Forms plus manual reminder emails to hold the whole system together.
Works with Squarespace, WordPress, Wix, Webflow, and any site where you can paste a snippet.
How it usually works now
A newsletter link, a spreadsheet, and a day-before reminder email should not be your event system.
What changes with Turnout
Turnout makes your website the place where community members browse upcoming events and register without leaving.
The goal is simple: less coordination overhead, better attendance visibility, and a registration experience that stays inside your organisation’s brand.
Live Calendar
Paste one snippet on your events page and your workshops, orientations, dinners, and classes appear there automatically. Add or cancel an event in Turnout and your website stays current without another website edit.
Inline Registration
People register on your site, not on Eventbrite and not on a Google form. That keeps trust high, reduces drop-off, and gives supporters one clear place to see what is coming up.
Attendee Clarity
See confirmed attendees, capacity, waitlist demand, and custom field responses in one dashboard organised by event. No manual filtering just to answer “how many people are signed up?”
Automatic Follow-Up
Registrants get an immediate confirmation and a reminder before the event without anyone on your team drafting and sending those emails manually each time.
Who It Fits
Turnout works best for nonprofits that run events often enough that the patchwork process has started costing real time and creating avoidable friction.
Programmes where headcount affects room bookings, printed materials, and facilitation plans.
Events where you need a clean attendee list and a clear sense of how many people are actually confirmed.
Events that need dietary information, capacity limits, and reliable reminder emails.
Speaker sessions or multi-date programmes that benefit from having a proper calendar view on your website.
Why Switch
Both are common nonprofit defaults. Both solve part of the problem. Neither gives small organisations a clean, branded event registration system that actually lives on their own site.
The tool itself costs nothing. The manual steps do. Separate forms, spreadsheet cleanup, reminder emails, and scattered links create recurring admin overhead every time you run an event.
For free community events, the bigger issue is not ticket fees. It is that supporters click from your site to another platform in another brand, right at the moment they are deciding whether to register.
When your calendar, registration, and attendee data are tied together, your team spends less time reconciling different tools and more time running the actual programme.
Setup is roughly the same level of effort as embedding a YouTube video.
Step 1
Set up your organisation, add your first few upcoming events, and decide what information each registration form should collect.
Step 2
Drop Turnout onto your events page in Squarespace, WordPress, Wix, Webflow, or any site that supports HTML embeds.
Step 3
Visitors see the calendar on your site, register there, and your team gets real-time attendee data plus automatic email follow-up.
