To create an organization account on POINT, you need to create an account for yourself first. Just like Facebook, you create a personal account and then can add an organization.
Note: Please advise: POINT is only available in the US. If you're located outside the US, unfortunately, our platform isn't available for your use at this time.
Getting started:
You'll need to a create a POINT account here.
This personal profile will be linked to your organization’s POINT account, granting you admin access. You can also use your profile to sign up as a volunteer for any event on the POINT platform. And don’t worry—your account will remain yours, even if you’re no longer an admin for your organization.
Now that you have an account for yourself, you’re ready to create an organization account!
Here’s what you’ll need:
- An organization photo
- Organization name
- Organization type
- FOR NONPROFITS: EIN tax exempt number: this can be found on your 501(c)3 determination letter, tax paperwork, the IRS website, or the Secretary of State website (we just want to make sure you’re a legit nonprofit)
- Organization URL
- Organizational contact info (probably an info@ yourorganization.com email and office phone number)
- Organization’s mission statement
As part of the setup process, you’ll also need to complete some compliance requirements and review POINT’s community guidelines.
When creating your organization profile, don't forget to select the causes you support! If you're a nonprofit, choose the causes that align with your organization’s core values or are most relevant to your members. Volunteers can browse causes on the app and discover nonprofits that support them, so selecting all relevant causes is key to helping new volunteers find your organization.
If you're a school, business, or another type of organization, select the causes that are most important to your members or best reflect your core values. For instance, a school would likely choose the “education” cause, in addition to any others that apply.
And congratulations! Your organization account is now set up on POINT. Please note that approval can take 1-2 business days.
