Advice for using & implementing Nonprofit Directory
Hello colleagues and happy new year!
We will be implementing the Nonprofit Directory later this year and would welcome any advice, suggestions, or lessons learned from those of you using it. A specific question I have is this:
Do you have a maximum time length (i.e. 90 days, 6 months, etc.) you keep funding projects/opportunities available for donors?
Thanks for any suggestions!

We are just now starting to look at this functionality, and I would love to see examples of others' directories and how they have been used/useful.

, would you be willing to share your Directory url? We use CSuite's integrated Nonprofit Directory in the most rudimentary way and would love to see how other's have used it.
Thank you!

Hi Jennifer,
We haven't launched it yet. I took a look at OCCF's Directory and it looks great! I'll post a link when we launch.

This will be helpful.

This is the link to OCCF's directory. It appears they are using standard CSuite NP directory functionality with enhanced HTML. Very nice example of what is possible.

Is anyone utilizing the passthrough grant option for the CSuite Nonprofit Directory? @MissyBelles is interested in learning more and seeing some example web pages. After doing a quick Google search (fcsuite.com directory), these are the live pages I found, but any additional insight from CSuite users would be greatly appreciated!

Shout out to @JenniferMeckling and the Oklahoma City Community Foundation team for creating the most unique and customized nonprofit directory I have ever seen! 🤯 Might need you to host a master class for the rest of us…🙌

Hi all @MikePuccio @JenniferMeckling - I can't seem to @ the other folks - I am wondering if you could all comment on the below if possible?
- what you all have decided in terms of offering a donate passthrough grant option?
- If you do offer it, has that added a lot of work to your workload?
- I don't see that CS templates allow mergefields for the "donation" info so there is no way to put in the adviser name or tribute info in the grant award letter - how have you addressed this?
- Do you find that this is competing with the time a donor may have spent looking at the CF funds to donate too?
- How do your donor advised fund holders use this - do they find it helpful or more confusing?
- How did you advertise and vet the nonprofits for the catalog listing?
- Do you have any other feedback you would like to share?
Thanks for any information as we are just now considering this.
Thank you very much!

Hi everyone. I'm just beginning to explore using the Nonprofit Directory. I don't think we will be using pass through donations, but I'd love to hear if anyone else is/will be. Also, I'm understanding that in order to use the edit profile feature, nonprofits will have to log in to the portal, similar to the way donors log into their portal and then they can update their listing. Am I getting this right?
