How to add new and update existing cause areas and populations in the Impact tab of your profile
The Impact section of your organization's profile is the place for you to tell your organization's story on your own terms. The Cause Areas and Populations that your nonprofit supports are key aspects of your organization's mission that funders can identify with.
As a funder, adding cause areas ensures that nonprofits clearly understand the interest areas you support through your grantmaking.
These areas on your profile also help your organization appear in Searches and Ecosystems.
Cause Areas
Go to the Impact tab of your organization's profile. You will see the box for cause areas near the top.
Click the pencil icon in the upper right of the box to open the editing option.
Add the cause areas that your organization focuses on. These cause areas are aligned with the NTEE cause areas defined by the IRS. We recommend adding up to 5 cause areas to best showcase your organization's defined interests.
You can remove a cause area by clicking the x on it.
Click Save Changes when you're done.
Populations
The box for populations is located on the same Impact tab, just next to the Cause Areas.
Click the pencil icon in the upper right of the box to begin editing.
Add the populations that your organization serves. You can remove a population by clicking the x on it.
Click Save Changes when you're done.
