It helps non-profits understand who you are, what you care about, and the kind of projects you want to support. A well completed profile also increases trust and transparency and sets the stage for meaningful community impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Your Profile Matters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your profile isn\u2019t just a formality. It\u2019s how the ActionFunder community (non-profits and other funders alike) gets to know your organisation. The more detail you provide, the more relevant the matches and applications you\u2019ll receive for your fund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Create Your Profile<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you\u2019ve signed up as a funder, you\u2019ll be prompted to create your profile. Here\u2019s what to include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. Organisation Name &amp; Logo<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Add your official organisation name and upload your logo. This adds credibility and recognisability across the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. About you<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Write a short description of your organisation &#8211; who you are, what you do, and what you stand for. This helps non-profits understand your values and motivations as a funder. You\u2019ll also need to fill in other basic information like your phone number and address<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Online &amp; social presence<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can add your organisation\u2019s website and social media profiles to give non-profits more context about your wider work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. Contact Info<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This won\u2019t be shared publicly, but having a contact person linked to the account ensures clear communication when needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for a Great Profile<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Be authentic \u2013 Write in a tone that reflects your organisation\u2019s personality.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be clear \u2013 Make it easy for non-profits to understand your funding goals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep it updated \u2013 If anything changes about your priorities or organisation, update your profile to reflect that.<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once your profile is live, you\u2019re ready to create and launch your first fund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still have questions?
