Once you’ve logged in, click Make a Donation in the navigation bar.

3. Select Create Quick Filter
Once your search information is applied, only the opportunities that meet the criteria will appear in the list view. You will also notice a button at the top of your screen to ‘Create Quick Filter’. If selected, you will be creating a quick filter with the search criteria you have just added.
