iGrOOps can be used by just about any kind of group, club, community, family, or organization there is. Between the free option and the professional option, any group can benefit from an iGrOOp.
Here are some live examples of iGrOOps in use.
iGrOOps are membership-based communities with most of the tools and content available to members only. Unless you are a member of these groups, you will not be able to see all the features.
The Public Speaking iGrOOp is a online group of people with a passion for speaking in public.
This is a pro iGrOOp that takes advantages of such features as the page peel ad (upper right hand corner), newsletter, and video / MP3 gallery to store speeches and podcasts of members. The admin charges $29 per year for membership or $4 per month. They have almost 200 members and been around for just a few months.
The District 31 Toastmasters iGrOOp is run by a non-profit organization. It has about 400 members. The organization is not charging its members for this service and enjoys daily activity. The most used applications are the communication system (mailing list option) and the video / MP3 sharing application.
Even at 400 members, the cost to District 31 Toastmasters would be just $104 per month -- about the cost of a professional static website.
The Year To Success iGrOOp is run by an author of a book who uses the group to communicate with readers and provide premium content to paid members.
He is using two membership levels -- the first level is free which gives readers access to forum and the second level is $19 per month, which gives readers direct access to author through private messages and live video chat sessions, as well as access to much video and audio information. Cost to author: $29 per month.

The Sudbury Town iGrOOp is a community group, created specifically for the townspeople of Sudbury, MA. They charge $29 per year for membership and have close to 100 members after just a couple of months.
Unlike other town websites, iGrOOps allows for a higher quality of content by compensating the administrator for his/her efforts. The members pay the nominal fee to use the tools and keep in the loop with their neighbors and friends.
The Joel Barlow Class of 1990 iGrOOp is a site for the 172 alumni that make up that group. It is a pro option and asks for donations though the integrated PayPal donations feature.
The iGrOOp uses the FAQ as a "what ever happened to..." feature, where classmates can post what they know about other classmates.
