Adding / Editing Cause Areas and Populations

How to add new and update existing cause areas and populations in the Impact tab of your profile

The Cause Areas and Populations that your organization supports are key aspects of your organization's mission that you can communicate on your profile.

These areas on your profile also help your organization appear in Searches and Ecosystems. 

Cause Areas

Go to the Overview tab of your organization's profile. You will see the area for cause areas near the top. 

Click the pencil icon in the upper right of the area to open the editing option.

Click Confirm when you're done.

Populations

The box for populations is located on the same Overview tab, just next to the Cause Areas.
