🎗️ Cause Areas

What are Cause Areas?

Company admins now have the ability to add and edit featured Cause Areas via the Deed Organizer Portal! Active cause areas will be displayed on the employee-facing homepage under Pillars & ERGs.

There are two main types of Cause Areas available for you to add to your company’s environment:

• Pillars are the featured cause areas that company admins can create and add non-profits to. They are being highlighted on the Homepage as featured cause areas and employees can browse and see the non-profits under these categories.
• ERGs are Employee Resource Groups that are employee-led groups formed around common interests, common bonds, or similar backgrounds. They are also being highlighted on the Homepage and employees can follow a ERG and see the non-profits tagged on them.

“Pillars” created on the organizer portal will be displayed as “Featured cause areas” on the employee-facing environment.

How to create a new Cause Area

• Creating new Cause Areas is as easy as 1-2-3:
  1. While logged into the Organizer portal, click on “Cause Areas”
  2. Click on “Add New Cause Area”
  3. Add in all relevant information, select the cause type (Pillar, ERG, SDG, or Category), be sure to click the toggle to “Active”, link any relevant nonprofits, and hit submit!

🎗️ There is no limit to the number of nonprofits you can associate with a Cause Area. This is a great place to highlight organizations that mean a lot to your employees, ERGs, and leaders.

Editing Cause Areas

To edit a Cause Area, simply click on the relevant Cause on the organizer portal and edit the relevant information. On that page, you can edit the cause name, photos, display order, and associated nonprofits. You can also duplicate the Cause Area.

⛔ You can also remove a Cause Area at the bottom of the Cause you are editing or deactivate it by clicking the “Active” toggle.

Editing the “Sorting” will change the order of which the Causes are displayed on the employee facing environment.
