FAQs

What makes a good organization description? Focus on credibility: years in operation, community served, mission, and notable accomplishments. Keep it factual and professional—this isn't marketing copy.

Can I include an equal opportunity statement? Yes. Brief statements about diversity, inclusion, or organizational values are appropriate.

The section won't save—what's missing? Check that all required fields are completed: organization name, description (any length), website (with https://), and full location (country, state, city, zip).
