Soorse is a professional networking platform built around trusted Groups. Instead of cold connections or open social feeds, Soorse helps people connect through verified organizations, clubs, nonprofits, alumni groups, teams, and professional associations they already belong to.

Soorse is group-first, not feed-first. Discovery is driven by shared affiliations, not algorithms. Profiles are contextual, access is intentional, and engagement is tied to real organizations and real communities.

Soorse is designed for:

• Professionals and community members
• Nonprofits and foundations
• Alumni associations, schools, clubs, and teams
• Group leaders seeking engagement, visibility, and sustainable funding

Yes. Soorse is free to use.

A paid subscription is only required if you want:

• Membership in more than 5 Groups, and/or
• The ability to message people who are not your direct Soorses (connections)

All other core features remain available on the free tier.

You can control your profile visibility at any time:

• Public: Your profile is searchable by anyone using the Soorse landing page or main search bar.
• Private: Your profile is discoverable only by members of Groups you belong to.

This gives you full control over how broadly you want to be discovered.

A paid subscription unlocks premium features such as:

• Joining additional Groups beyond the free limit
• Expanded contact visibility
• Direct messaging beyond immediate connections
• Supporting your Groups through revenue sharing

When you subscribe, a portion of your monthly fee is shared with the nonprofit Groups you actively participate in, helping provide ongoing support driven by engagement.

Member contribution dashboards are under construction and will be available in a future release.

A Group represents a real organization — such as a nonprofit, school, alumni association, club, foundation, or professional organization — with designated administrators and members.

Any individual may create a Group provided the Group and its activities are lawful in the applicable jurisdiction and comply with Soorse's Terms & Conditions. Certain features require additional verification.

Group Admins can:

• Manage members and invitations
• Publish announcements and content
• Promote events
• Add events to the Group calendar
• Enable monetization (where eligible)
• View engagement insights (dashboards under construction)

Currently, only verified 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations may enable monetization on Soorse.

When enabled, a portion of member subscription revenue is shared with the nonprofit based on engagement and participation.

No. Groups may exist purely for communication, visibility, and engagement without monetization.

Nonprofits undergo verification using EIN checks and payment-processor validation before monetization is enabled.

Yes. Soorse supports direct donations to eligible nonprofit Groups.

As is standard practice, transaction processing fees are typically paid by the donor, with the full net donation amount passed through to the nonprofit.

Soorse does not take a platform fee on donations.

Administrative dashboards for contribution tracking are under development and will be released in a future update.

Groups can promote and advertise events on Soorse, including:

• Public events
• Private events
• Virtual events

Soorse does not currently host events directly but serves as a discovery, promotion, and engagement layer.

Soorse includes a dedicated Calendar section where:

• Group Admins add events to their Group calendars
• Members can view all events across all of their Groups in one place
• Members can filter events by Group

Events are discoverable in multiple places:

• The Home Page
• The Member Calendar
• Group pages
• The Social section through member activity

When a member selects Attend, that activity appears in the Social section, making participation visible to others.

Soorse emphasizes trust through:

• Real-world Groups
• Verified admins
• Controlled profile visibility
• Reduced spam and impersonation
• Transparent affiliations

Yes. Group Admins control membership and content within their Groups, subject to Soorse platform policies.

All payments are processed securely through Stripe.

At this time:

• Payments are supported on desktop
• Mobile in-app payments are not yet enabled

Yes. Subscriptions can be canceled at any time, with access continuing through the current billing period.

Invitations can be shared via link, email, or QR code, depending on Group permissions.
