Account Profile

The Profile Page presents basic information about your organization. This information is available in the 'About Us' section of your organization's fundraisers. Also, web search engines search profile pages on givezooks! so that new and existing supporters can find your organization.

Before You Begin

You will need the following to set up your Organization Profile:

  • Your organization name (We automatically insert your organization name that registered with the IRS. You can change it if necessary.),
  • Your organization's tag line (if you would want it to be your website address on givezooks!),
  • Your organization's website,
  • Your organization's address (We automatically insert your organization's address that registered with the IRS. You can change it if necessary.)
  • Your organization's tags,
  • A short summary of your organization,
  • Your organization's mission statement, and
  • Your logo (if you have one) that is
    • in JPG, GIF, or PNG format,
    • up to 3MB file size, and
    • works with a white background.

Organization Name

The organization name is defaulted during the registration process to the name that is on record with the IRS. If needed, you can edit the name here.

Custom URL

Each organization gets to define their own custom givezooks! website address. This address will be where the organization's profile and all of the organization's fundraisers will be located. You can choose any name as long as it is not already taken. Some suggestions are:

  • Example: if your domain name is your_domain.org, then you may want to choose your_domain, so your new givezooks! address would be your_domain.givezooks.com.

 Note: There is no "www" in front of your givezooks! website address.

Website

This is your organization's website address; for example, www.OurNonprofitOrganization.org
The organization website is displayed on the Organization Public Profile and also in the About Us section on any Fundraiser. This allows any supporter or donor to easily get to your website and find out more about your organization.

Facebook Page/Group ID


Inserting your Facebook group or page ID here will enable automatically generated status updates for your organization. You may change your Facebook user name at any time if necessary.

If you have a customized Facebook URL:

  1. Select 'subscribe via RSS' on the bottom left of your Facebook page
  2. See id= in the URL



Twitter User name



Inserting your Twitter user name here will enable automatically generated 'tweets' for your organization. You may change your Twitter user name at any time if necessary.

Address

This field will default to the address that is on record with the IRS. You may change it here if necessary.

Tags

Tags are keywords that describe the Organization and help people understand the programs your organization offers and the people you serve. With Tags, more is more so include any words that you can think of that are related to your organization's mission and constituents.

  • Your organization's Mission (e.g., Advocacy, Empowerment, Research)
  • Your organization's Programs (e.g., Arts, Education, Environment)
  • Your organization's Constituents (e.g., women, elderly, senior, youth)
     

About Us

This is a short summary of your organization.  If you had to summarize your organization in one simple sentence, what would it be?  This information will be displayed in the 'About Us' section of a fundraiser and in a search listing.

It's important to think about how you can repeat the Tags or keywords that you defined above as you write this short summary, so they work together.


Mission Statement  

You can enter your organization's mission statement.

Logo  

Branding is important and this is another opportunity to brand your organization profile.

Adding a Logo

You can upload your Organization's logo to be displayed on the Organization's Public Profile.

    • Valid formats are: JPG, GIF, & PNG
    • There is a maximum file size of 3MB
    • givezooks! takes care of resizing the logo to make sure it fits on the page correctly.

If you have multiple version of your logo, you may want to choose one that looks good on a white background.  If you don't happen to have a logo - that's OK, we will just put your Organization Name in it's place.

Changing a Logo  

To change or update the Logo, upload the new version. It will be replaced everywhere it's used on givezooks!

Changing Account Administrator

To protect your organization's privacy, especially with regard to access to merchant service credentials, there is only one administrator per account.

However, you can…
1. Choose a role oriented email for the administrator, like development@xyz.org ,  and choose a sharable password and share these credentials with colleagues ( Those with whom you share the credentials will have access to merchant service credentials.)
2. Assign/change 'ownership' of particular campaigns (from 'Campaign Setup')
3. With events, you can change both the 'event organizer' and the 'event administrator.'
4. For any fundraiser, you can add any email address to be copied on outgoing Thank You Notes and/or Transaction Notifications

Over time, you may want to change the account administrator. Here's how:
  1. Have the person that you want to be the new administrator go to this link and create an individual account. Make sure that they fill out all the information on their 'About Me' tab.
  2. From the current account administrators email account, send an email to support@givezooks.com stating that you would like the account administrator switched and include the email address of the new account administrator.
