Build a Profile Profile Help Sessions FAQSRESOURCES FOR NONPROFITS

Build a Profile

Each 501(c)3 organization on LIVEGIVEmidsouth creates its listing by building a nonprofit profile. The nonprofit organization is responsible for providing all its information.

  1. The first step in building a profile is choosing a profile manager. This representative from your nonprofit is responsible for completing the required fields to have a profile published and for maintaining it annually.

  2. Once the profile manager creates an account, they will log in and begin completing the profile, providing information about your organization's management, board of directors, programs, financials, and contact information. 
  3. Due to COVID-19 our How to Build a Profile sessions have been suspended. We encourage you to browse some profiles in the nonprofit directory to get familiar with the kinds of information presented in a LIVEGIVEmidsouth profile.  
  4. Ready to build your profile? Get started.

**In response to COVID-19, we have suspended in-person sessions through the end of the year.  If you need assistance building or updating your LIVEGIVEmidsouth profile, please contact Nur Abdalla.**

Profile Help Sessions

In an abundance of caution and in order to adhere to social distancing recommendations, the Community Foundation of Greater Memphis has closed the Gid H. Smith Community Room until further notice. In alignment, all LIVEGIVEmidsouth in person sessions will be hosted online.

 

Profile Coaching Session: The LIVEGIVEmidsouth staff holds coaching sessions for profile managers working to build or improve a nonprofit profile. If you need assistance building or updating your LIVEGIVEmidsouth profile, please contact LIVEGIVEmidsouth Program Associate Nur Abdalla to schedule a phone or Zoom session.
