Categories

What it is

Categories group similar needs so case workers can post consistently and volunteers can find the right opportunities.

What you can do

• Create, rename, or deactivate categories
• Keep names simple and clear (e.g., Transportation, Groceries)

How to manage

1. Go to Admin → Settings → Categories
2. Add a new category or edit an existing one
3. Deactivate categories you no longer use

Tips:

• Keep the list short and meaningful
• Review quarterly and merge duplicates

Troubleshooting

• Can’t save? Ensure the name is unique and not empty
• Volunteers can’t find needs? Simplify category names and check assignments
