Sample Group

“Groups” are a great feature in Compass that allow members to create an area outside of the standard categorized discussions for collaboration around a specific topic or event.  Any Compass member can create a group!

Funders may use Groups for:  

• Boards & Committees 
• Collaborating with other community foundations in your region (or of similar asset/employee size) 
• Sharing documents, processes and workflow examples with others 
• Providing onboarding resources for new employees, board members, etc. 
• Strategic planning, exchanging ideas and goal-setting

Nonprofits may use Groups for:

• Boards, Committees and Volunteers
• Grant writing application collaboration among team members
• Volunteers planning a particular event (5k fundraiser, bake sale, pet adoption event, etc.)
• Groups residing in a specific geographic region coordinating on lobbying around a new law or policy
• Employees collaborating on ideas/goals for the mission of the nonprofit organization

...and the list goes on!

Here is a document with detailed instructions and important considerations for creating and nurturing your Group:
