CauseCanopy builds modern, thoughtful software for the volunteer-run organizations that hold communities together — starting with BoardStack, a platform for school PTA boards.
Every year, millions of volunteers run PTAs, booster clubs, and community organizations on spreadsheets, forwarded emails, and institutional memory that walks out the door with every board transition. We exist to change that — as a nonprofit, so the mission never competes with a profit motive.
We're structured as a nonprofit ourselves. Our incentive is your organization's health — not your subscription revenue.
Board members are parents, teachers, and professionals giving their evenings. Our software respects their time: simple, fast, and obvious.
Boards turn over every year or two. We build so knowledge, plans, and momentum survive every handoff.
BoardStack replaces the verbal status round-robin, the scattered spreadsheets, and the group-chat scramble with one clear picture of who's doing what, what's due, and what's stuck.
Every committee, every activity, status and due dates on one Board Overview — the president sees everything without chasing fourteen people for updates.
Add an activity in under ten seconds — only a title required. A quick “called the vendor, waiting on a quote” note takes five.
Sponsorship waiting on Events to confirm a date? Flag it. Dependencies live in the tool instead of in someone's head.
A print-friendly status readout, grouped by committee — pull it up live at the board meeting or attach it straight to the minutes.
Start the new school year with last year's activities as your template. Incoming chairs see what their predecessors actually did — no more knowledge walking out the door.
Sign in with the Google account you already have — no new passwords. And your data is always yours: export everything to CSV anytime.
We're partnering with a small group of PTA boards for the 2026–27 school year. Pilots shape the product and use it free — forever.
Tell us about your school and board. It takes two minutes, and any board member can apply.
We set up your board's committees and year plan with you on a call — most boards are running in under an hour.
Monthly feedback sessions decide what we build next. Pilot schools keep free access for life.
We're deliberately starting narrow — one kind of organization, served exceptionally well. As BoardStack matures, the same foundation extends to every volunteer-run group that deserves better tools.
BoardStack pilot with founding schools, 2026–27 school year.
Band boosters, athletic clubs, and other school-adjacent organizations.
Youth leagues, civic groups, and small nonprofits with volunteer boards.
Our roadmap is set with the organizations we serve — not for them.
We're selecting a founding cohort of PTA boards for the 2026–27 school year. If your board runs on verbal status updates and handoff chaos, we built this for you.
CauseCanopy is powered by people who give a few hours to multiply the hours of thousands of volunteers. If you have skills to lend — or you just believe the helpers deserve better tools — we'd love to hear from you.
