Adding nonprofits and opportunities to a group

If your program integrates with Benevity's Employee Engagement solution, you can share nonprofits, volunteering, and giving opportunities with a group. All volunteer and giving opportunities are created in your company's Employee Engagement program before they are searchable in Employee Groups. Similarly, only nonprofits that are supported by your program are returned in search results when adding a nonprofit to a group.

Members can find nonprofits and opportunities on the Get Involved tab of a group.

Permissions

Group leaders can promote nonprofits, volunteering, and giving opportunities to their members.

Adding nonprofits and opportunities to a group

To add a nonprofit or opportunity to a group:

1. Go to Group Leader Dashboard > Groups.
2. Open the group and select the Get Involved tab.
3. Select Add for the section you wish to add to the group.
4. In the search box, enter the name, or a phrase related to what you are looking for. Alternatively, if you'd like to browse all the available options, type an asterisk (*), and select search.

Syncing nonprofit and opportunity details

To sync the nonprofit and opportunity details with those in your Employee Engagement program:

1. Go to Group Leader Dashboard > Groups.
2. Open the group and select the Get Involved tab.
3. Select Manage > Sync.

Employee Groups automatically syncs all opportunities every 24 hours. The manual Sync option is a great way to have changes made in your company's program immediately recognized in Employee Groups.

Deleting opportunities

To delete a nonprofit or opportunity from a group:

1. Go to Group Leader Dashboard > Groups.
2. Open the group and select the Get Involved tab.
3. Select Manage > Delete.

This does not remove the opportunity from other initiatives your company has planned or supports. This action simply removes it from the group.

Sharing nonprofits and opportunities to the feed

After adding a nonprofit, giving opportunity, or volunteering opportunity to a group, you can promote it to group members by sharing it to the group feed. Group leaders can share from two places: the Get Involved tab in the group, or the Group Leader Dashboard.

Sharing from the Get Involved tab

1. Go to the group and select the Get Involved tab.
2. Find the opportunity or nonprofit you want to share and select the actions menu on the tile.
3. Select Share to Feed.
4. Enter an optional description for your post in the Share to feed dialog.
5. Select who you want to share the post with from the following options:
   • Everyone in my company
   • Share with this group only
   • Share with leaders only
6. Select Share.

Sharing from the Group Leader Dashboard

1. Go to Group Leader Dashboard > Groups.
2. Open the group and select the Get Involved tab.
3. Find the item you want to share, then select Actions > Share to Feed.
4. Enter an optional description for your post in the Share to feed dialog.
5. Select who you want to share the post with from the following options:
   • Everyone in my company
   • Share with this group only
   • Share with leaders only
6. Select Share.

A confirmation message appears once the post has been shared. Group members can find the post in the group feed, along with a preview of the opportunity and a link to take action.
