Manage Chapters

How do I add a chapter?

1. Select the My Nonprofits tab.
2. From the My Nonprofits page, select the plus sign (+) to the right of the parent in the Nonprofit table.
3. Complete the information for this new chapter on the Add a Chapter page. This includes:
   1. Profile
   2. Contact Information
   3. Display Address
   4. Add New Administrator
   5. Reason for Adding Chapter
4. Save your changes to add the chapter.

It is recommended to mention the parent in the new chapter's Mission Statement. For example, Payments will be sent to the {Parent Nonprofit name} to then be distributed to the {Chapter name}.

Important: The chapter must first be reviewed by YourCause + Blackbaud before it will be added to the system. Pending chapter requests cannot be edited. Selecting x next to the request will cancel it. Selecting the eye icon will allow you to view the pending request.

How do I view the chapters for my parent nonprofit?

1. Select the My Nonprofits tab.
2. From the My Nonprofits page, select the parent nonprofit (if multiple are available).
3. Choose the appropriate chapter from the dropdown to view its account.

How do I remove a chapter?

1. Select the My Nonprofits tab.
2. From the My Nonprofits page, select the red circle next to the chapter.
3. Provide a comment as to why the chapter is being removed.
4. Once finished, select Deactivate to deactivate the chapter. The chapter will now display Inactive in the system.

How are users and profiles managed across parent and chapter accounts?

• Users can be added and removed from the chapter similar to how the parent is managed. However, Administrators for a chapter only have access to the chapter's details - no access is granted to the parent's details.
• The chapter's profile will follow from the parent's profile, but it can be customized to some extent when adding it to the system.
• Disbursements will be handled at the parent level and not by the chapter.
