Making Llamas (and Dreams) More Accessible
Hamilton County Llamas is a small, but passionate nonprofit in Hamilton County, Indiana. The all-volunteer organization leases llamas to youth so they can participate in 4-H fairs and national livestock shows, teaching suburban kids the joy of caring for animals without the responsibility of full ownership.
The organization began looking for a system that could simplify membership payments, manage accounts, and support their future goals, including fundraising and an online store.
“When I joined two years ago, everything was almost completely manual — we even had to mail in checks, and sometimes they got lost. In just two years, seeing how much easier things have become with Cheddar Up is really cool.”

Simplified Payments and Seamless Reporting
Cheddar Up was introduced to Hamilton County Llamas alongside MoneyMinder, and it quickly became an essential tool for managing payments. The organization now uses Cheddar Up to collect membership dues, track event payments, and manage finances more efficiently.
“Cheddar Up has made collecting payments so much easier,” Alicia says. “We’ve moved away from lost checks and manual tracking to an organized system that syncs perfectly with MoneyMinder. It’s saving us a lot of time and energy.”
For Shannon, who joined the board just a few months ago, Cheddar Up’s ease of use and potential for growth stand out. “I think there’s so much we could do with Cheddar Up, from fundraising to ticketing,” she says. “As we evolve as an organization, we’ll definitely be exploring more of its capabilities.”
“Cheddar Up makes payment collection easy and efficient for small nonprofits. It saves time, simplifies reporting, and helps us stay organized as we grow.”

Herding Llamas and Payments Just Got Easier
Hamilton County Llamas is growing and Cheddar Up is helping them keep up with the pace. With 50-60 llamas, a growing number of members, and an ambitious events schedule, having a reliable payment platform has been critical to their success.
“Cheddar Up gives us the tools we need to manage memberships and event payments seamlessly,” Alicia says. “The reporting capabilities alone are a game-changer for tracking our finances and ensuring everything is accounted for.”
Shannon agrees, adding, “For suburban kids, it’s an amazing way to get a taste of what it’s like to care for a farm and animals without having to own them or take on all the responsibility of raising livestock. Tools like Cheddar Up help us stay organized so we can focus on providing these opportunities for youth.”
