I work for an association

Connect the whole association — from the local chapter to the national level.

The benefits

What CLUP.life does for you

  • Structure just like in real life

    An association brings clubs together — and other associations, with no fixed depth. Permissions and visibility flow from top to bottom.

  • Announcements to everyone

    One association post reaches the sub-units without anyone forwarding it 200,000 times. Circulars to verified clubs are Premium.

  • Reports and annual planning

    The clubs’ association reports come together, and the annual plan shows what happens when across the sub-units.

  • Verified clubs with a seal

    You verify clubs; an association sees and reaches only its verified members. That keeps it clear who really belongs.

  • Figures instead of gut feeling

    Dashboard, reports, time series, and exports across all clubs are Premium; the club overview and membership structure are part of Basic.

Your clubs may already be here

Publicly known clubs may already be listed on CLUP.life as an entry without an owner. As a verified umbrella association, you can confirm the claim — clubs can be found under “Discover clubs”.

Privacy & security

Trust is not an add-on. It is the foundation.

  • Roles one level weaker

    An association admin acts as a moderator in sub-units. Club internals stay with the club; the association sees only verified members.

  • Double encrypted

    Names, contact details, messages and club content are individually encrypted in the database — on top of the server’s own encryption.

  • Built for the EU

    GDPR from day one: access, export, deletion with a grace period, roles and permissions following the principle of “as little as necessary”.

  • No external advertising, no tracking

    No analytics scripts, no ad networks, no third-party servers for fonts or images.

Cost

What’s free, what’s Premium?

Setting up an association costs nothing. Premium adds analytics, reports, circulars, and more storage; for verified clubs, a small connection fee applies, which the association pays.

  • Basic (free): set up an association, club overview, membership structure, announcements to your own members.
  • Premium: dashboard, reports, time series, exports, circulars to verified clubs, 10 GB storage.
  • The association can enable and pay for Premium for its verified clubs.
  • Premium for associations and municipalities: €500.00 per month or €5,000.00 per year (net plus 19 % VAT).
  • Per verified club: €12.00 per year, €9.00 from 100 clubs, €6.00 from 500 clubs (net, in each case for every club).

You can find all prices, the comparison, and the connection fees on the pricing page.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

How many levels can an association have?

As many as you like: associations can bring together other associations and clubs, with no fixed depth — from the region up to the national level.

Does every club we connect have to pay?

No. Clubs use CLUP.life for free. If you verify clubs, the connection fee is charged to the association, not the club.

What does the association see of the clubs?

Only its verified members, and only what the permissions allow. The clubs’ internals stay with the clubs.

Can the association take over Premium for its clubs?

Yes. An association can enable and pay for Premium for the clubs it has verified, with explicit cost confirmation.

How large can an association be?

CLUP.life is designed for hundreds of thousands of members. Posts are assembled when read, so an association post doesn’t trigger hundreds of thousands of write operations.

How do I get started with an existing association?

Feel free to contact us. We’ll discuss with you how clubs are connected and existing entries are claimed.

Where is the data stored?

On servers in Falkenstein (Germany); encrypted backups are stored in Finland (EU). Names, contact details, messages, and club content are additionally encrypted individually.

Are there ads or tracking?

No. There is no external advertising, no ad networks, and no analytics scripts. Instead of ads, clubs can win sponsors — openly and only with the consent of both sides.
