Adding an Online Community - Temporarily unavailable.

  Complete the following:
• Network manager’s email – Enter the email of the person who is responsible for maintaining the network. The manager will be able to upload pictures, videos, presentations, research, statistics and other data reflecting the need for your project, and encourage people to participate in conversations on the network.
• Network message – Enter a message inviting people to join your network. The message should be welcoming and attractive to visitors. You can use the formatting buttons to highlight important points. (For more about formatting, see Formatting Text).

Adding Partners

The Partners Option is a powerful feature, enabling individuals (the Partner) such as the chairperson, board member, major donor or others who support your work to write a recommendation for your project.

The Partner is featured prominently on your project page beside the project description. As only the first Partner is displayed, we recommend that you recruit an individual whose judgment visitors will respect. Verify that you have permission from your Partner to enter his details into the system and feature his recommendation on your project page, or ask them to do so themselves by following the directions below.

• To add a partner, make sure you logged on at www.jgooders.com (registration is free).
• Go to the project card to which you wish to add a partner.
• Next to the gallery of that project card, click either “Be the first to place a call” or “You can recruit too” (if the project already has partners, this is the text that will appear).
• Then simply fill in a title and a brief message why people should join you in supporting the project. When you are done, hit the submit button.
• Once the call is published, you may send it to your friends via e-mail and post it via Facebook by using the icons at the bottom of the page.
• Alternatively, you can simply cut and paste the link to the partner page you have just created and send it in an e-mail to whoever you choose.
