📅 Events

Deed Events are social, professional, or interest-based activities for your company. These company events are not associated with nonprofit organizations, cause areas, or Social Development Goals (SDGs). Instead, they allow employees to connect around shared interests. Think lunch and learns, happy hours, fireside chats, etc.

Company Admins and Organizers can create deeds like webinars or workout classes for employees to discover. There's no limit to the types of events your employees can experience with Deed.

⏱️ Time spent at an Event does not count as impact hours and will not be reflected in your dashboard.

• Creating an Event Step-by-Step

  • Log-in to your Deed Admin profile.
  • Go to Manage Deeds > Under Add Deeds, Select New Deed > Event
  • Fill out the fields on the form (Select whether virtual or in-person, Select the Date w/ start & end time, Name your Event, Create an event description, Add a point of contact, Select applicable categories, Add a photo or use one of ours, Add relevant attendee information, and whether you want the event available to all employees or only accessible by a link)

  💡 For Events, you can also create custom signup forms. Learn more about the different types of forms available to you here.

  • Once complete go to Publish Status > Set to Published > Submit

  ☝ Event Pro Tips: When creating your event, you can add additional information needed from volunteers such as a background check, mailing address, etc. You can also make this event a featured Deed and it will _______ (show up on homepage?) When selecting an image for your event, we suggest a 1350 x 750 px – **image size approx 1MB. Important: If you select for this to be a virtual opportunity, you must have created the dial-in link and added to the location line before you publish.

   

• Events are discoverable on the new "Events" page in the Global Navigation (if the feature has been turned by an admin)
• Events can only be "Company Only" and can never be "Public"
  • Can an event link be shared outside of the company?
• Employees can invite their colleagues to sign up when they are registering by clicking the “+” button and searching for their name in the search bar or adding them manually with name and email.

• Waitlist

  When spots get filled for your Event, employees are able to join the waitlist and will be notified if more spots open up.

• Virtual Events

  Please create a virtual link before you create your virtual Event. The virtual link will be emailed to attendees in their confirmation email, in reminder emails, and is available on the Deed platform.

• Automated employee email notifications

  To help things run as smoothly as possible for your virtual and in-person events, automated emails will be sent to event participants as follows:

  • One confirmation email upon sign-up
  • One reminder email 24 hours in advance of event
  • One reminder email 1 hour in advance of event
• Sharing events
  • Employees can invite colleagues to Events
  • Employees can view Events they've registered for in their profile (in "Upcoming Deeds" or "Past Deeds" sections)

• Additional Admin Info

  Events are managed and approved the same ways as Fundraisers, Volunteer events and Projects.

  • You'll need to BYOP – bring your own photo! Photos don't pre-populate for Events when creating them in the admin portal.
  • Events won't appear in Social Impact metrics and reporting.
  • Event-specific metrics and reporting will be added at a later date.
• Example: Employee facing Event page

Employees are not able to create their own Events at this time.
