Your Projects - Completing the BASIC tab

1. In the NPO Center header, click Your Projects.  The Basic tab is displayed.

2. Enter the required information in the following fields, clicking Save changes as you complete each field:

• In the Project Name box, enter the name of your project. This is the name that will appear on JGooders as the title of your project. Keep it short and clear, but emotionally appealing - it does not have to match the internal organizational project name - remember that site visitors may not have previous knowledge of your work.

• In the Project Manager box, enter the name of the contact person responsible for this project. If the organization contact person is also the Project Manager, this field should be left blank.

• In the Project Starting Year box, enter the year in which this project began.

• In the Number of Participants box, enter the number of people who participate in, or are helped by, the project each year.

• In the Project Description box, write a short description of your project. It is recommended that you try to keep your description short – ideally no longer than 100 words. You can use the formatting buttons to highlight important points. Note that the first line or two of this decscription is what will be displayed when the project shows up in a search on the site. (For more about formatting, see Formatting Text).

• In the Project's main picture area, upload the photograph that will represent your project in all searches and on your project page. It is recommended to select a photograph with strong emotional appeal to encourage visitors to learn more about your project. You can upload any standard graphics file, such as JPEG, GIF and PNG.

To upload a photograph click Browse, the Choose File window opens, enabling you to navigate to the file location. Select an image and click Open. The image is uploaded and appears in the box beside the Browse button.

For more about uploading photographs, see Uploading Photos.

      3. Click Save changes. Your changes will be saved and you may move on to other tabs.
