Rallyhood
Social media, email, texting—sometimes it’s hard to keep up with all the different ways to communicate. Wouldn’t it be great if there was one tool and one place that allowed you to get the information you need when you need it AND allow you to communicate with us and your fellow volunteers and parents?
We’re very excited to let you know that we’ve found a solution! It’s called Rallyhood.
Rallyhood is a group collaboration platform that streamlines communications, and make communication among GSNEO volunteers, parents and staff so much easier.
How it works is simple: Rallyhood allows us to create rallies, which are private, online, digital spaces with communication and coordination tools to make collaboration fun and easy, from a shared calendar, message board and photo gallery to a place to upload and download files. A rally makes group effort seamless by eliminating the chaos of those terrible reply-all emails. It also sends out automatic reminders for upcoming events, and you can access it from your computer or smart phone.

What are the fees associated with using the payment and special events tools in Rallyhood?
Rallyhood partners with Stripe to offer a safe, secure, and easy way to account for and collect payments:
- Credit cards (5.8% + $0.30 transaction fee)
- Cash/check payments made directly to troop leaders (no cost).
Rallyhood’s payment collection system allows troops to choose whether to absorb the fees or have the payor absorb the fees.
In almost all cases, the troop should choose the Fee Option that charges fees to the payor.
Organizers have a live calculation of any associated fees (platform and credit card processing) right on the setup page. As organizers are creating tickets or payment requests, they can see exactly what the fees might be without any guessing.
Rallyhood tries to keep fees as low and fair as possible. For comparison, fees on a $10 ticket in Rallyhood are $.91 vs. $2.24 in Eventbrite, which is almost 2.5 times higher.
