Tools for running an organization
ASCA builds software for the everyday work of running a student organization, a community, or a business, so the people in charge can spend their time on the people they serve.
About ASCA
Software for organizations, built with the people who run them.
ASCA Initiative is an independent software company building tools that help student organizations, communities, and businesses run. We started inside a student club, and we still build alongside the organizations we serve. Our first products, A.M.A.R. and M.A.C.R.O., keep Discord communities safe.
Less busywork for the people who keep organizations going.
Volunteers, officers, moderators, and staff hold organizations together. ASCA takes the repetitive work off their plate and leaves the decisions with them.
One account for everything
Your ASCA account and dashboard work across every ASCA product. Each new tool works with the account and team you already have.
Released when it's ready
We launch one tool at a time, and only once it's ready. Our moderation bots are available today, and the next tools are being shaped with the organizations who will use them.
From one club's problem to an independent company.
- 2023
Started in a student club
ASCA began inside the Orange Airsoft Club at Oregon State University, when the club's tools couldn't keep up with its members, events, and community.
- Then
Our first products
Keeping a busy community safe and welcoming became ASCA's first public products: A.M.A.R., which checks every message, and M.A.C.R.O., which takes a closer look at the hard cases.
- Today
An independent company
Because ASCA sells commercial services, it now operates as its own company, separate from the Orange Airsoft Club and Oregon State University, with a dedicated team of employees building and supporting it.
Student organizations are part of how we build.
Supporting student organizations has been our mission from day one, and that hasn't changed. We work closely with them, alongside the businesses and communities we serve, so ASCA keeps meeting their needs today and in the future.
Run a student organization? Get in touchFree for student organizations
Student organizations use ASCA without a subscription. Paid plans from businesses and communities make that possible.
A seat at the table
Student organizations take part in our product discussions, so their needs shape what we build next.
Early feedback
Student organizations try new features early and tell us what works and what doesn't before everyone else gets them.
Alongside businesses
We build for student organizations and businesses together, so neither is an afterthought.
Paid plans keep ASCA running.
Running ASCA costs real money every month. Paid plans from businesses and larger communities cover those costs, pay for new features, and let student organizations use ASCA free. We'd rather charge a fair price than sell your data.
What it takes to run ASCA
- Servers that never sleep
Our products run around the clock, so they're ready the moment someone posts.
- Databases and storage
Your settings, reports, and history are stored securely and backed up.
- Safety and checking services
Checking messages, files, links, and images relies on specialized services that charge for every check.
- Security, email, and payments
Sign-in, account protection, email delivery, and payment processing each come with their own bills.
- The people who run it
Employees who build, operate, and support ASCA every day.
Our pricing promise

- Plenty of options
Four plans per bot, monthly or yearly billing, and top-ups when you need a little more.
