How to Get Access to the Pro Bono Dashboard
Quick Answer
The Pro Bono Dashboard is immediately accessible from your main menu after creating an account. However, to receive matched pro bono opportunities and click "I'll Take It," you must have at least one approved listing (profile, organization, job, or event) in the system.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Create Your Heritage Web Account
Sign up for a free account at your chosen Heritage Web publication. You'll need to provide basic information, including email and password.
Step 2: Access the Dashboard Menu
Once logged in, locate "Pro Bono Dashboard" in your main navigation menu. Click to open the dashboard immediately - no waiting period required.
Step 3: Submit a Listing for Approval
To receive matched opportunities, create at least one listing:
Navigate to the appropriate section (Profile, Organization, Job, or Event Listings)
Complete all required fields including credentials and specialties
Submit for review
Wait for approval: 1 business day for sponsors, 2-3 days for free listings
Step 4: Start Receiving Matches
After approval, pro bono opportunities matching your credentials will appear in your dashboard's "New" tab. The "I'll Take It" button only appears on opportunities that match your approved listings.
FAQs
