3. Your Members Site Profile with Important Links
- Once you’ve logged into the members site, if you click on your profile in the top right hand corner you will see a list of links only you can see when logged in. Those important links are:
- Dashboard Link – this takes you to a dashboard that is an overview of you current available funds that are available to send to your project, open requests, transfer history and reporting status.
- Documents – this is your original proposal and any budgets submitted.
- Financial Reports – This is updated monthly with your donation summary for the previous month.
4. Our Knowledge Base
- Search our Process, Procedures and Information on our members site.
- https://member.devxchange.org/betterdocs/
5. Slack
- We will create you your own private channel for us to discuss your needs for your project as you are onboarding. Once you are confident in our processes you wont likely need it as much but its a nice lifeline to a staff member if you need it. All official requests should still go through our help requests process.
6. Start Fundraising
As a lead member you can access a variety of support tools to help with your fundraising plan.
- Volunteers for graphic design, social media, basic administration, web maintenance, grant writers, and appeal writers. If you need a volunteer for something else, please reach out and let us know so we can try and help get you a volunteer!
- Fundraising Coaches – ask a fundraising expert for advice on your upcoming virtual event, auction, presentation, fundraiser, etc and get some additional help for your efforts.
