Structural Changes for Simpler Update Process

Update Your Profile Only Once a Year!

In preparation for the 2024 Giving Challenge, we're making changes so that updating your organization's profile in The Giving Partner is more efficient.

The number of required fields to update an existing profile has been reduced.
The frequency to update your profiles will now be reduced to an annual basis when your State Charitable Solicitations permit expires (or when your fiscal year ends for those that are exempt from providing a permit).

Take a look at our new Nonprofit Toolkit for more information and download the checklists for updating or creating a profile.
