There’s so much to love about living in the age of digital technology. Information is accessible at our fingertips, and we no longer have to wait for a printed magazine or newspaper subscription to arrive in the mail before reading it. But with all that new access to information also comes an overwhelming amount of content and subscriptions. How are you supposed to keep track of all your subscriptions from different sources, let alone manage them all from one easy-to-access place?
Luckily, there are smartphone apps for that! Let’s face it: Keeping track of your subscriptions on paper can be a real hassle. You may want to subscribe again next year, but will you remember? Do you write down the info somewhere safe? If so, where??
Keeping track of digital subscriptions is also not always as simple as logging into one central account and seeing everything at once. These smartphone apps make subscribing to your favorite non-profits super easy! The best part is that many of these apps have special features that allow users to donate directly through their phones and even help out other users by recommending charities based on personal interests.
As with most organizations, membership to many nonprofit organizations requires a one-time or recurring payment. The dues are generally a one-time payment, but there is variation depending on the organization. Regardless of the frequency, it’s important to know the amount of your dues in order to set a reminder on your phone.
Organizations often have a calendar setting that you can search for on your phone or computer. Simply search for the organization you belong to and look for the “calendar” or “schedule” tab. If there isn’t an option for you to set a reminder for dues, you can contact the organization directly and ask them to send you an email reminder.
