What is an official nonprofit representative?
We strongly recommend that all charities have a nonprofit representative to manage their profile. We recommend that this person be full-time at your organization to maintain continuity.
There are several benefits of establishing a representative including that your representative can suggest updates to the basic information we display about your charity and earn additional beacons by providing certain data points.

Why should my nonprofit designate a representative?
For a few reasons. Your representative will be able to update basic information about your nonprofit. That way, donors will know the most up-to-date information about your organization. In addition, your representative will be able to provide data points that will earn your organization ratings for certain beacons. Finally, you will receive emails from us about important deadlines and methodolgoy updates.
