We hope you will list your nonprofit or school projects on GivingPoint and be part of actively reaching out to this generation of youth to help them create their civic footprint.

Here’s a quick summary of our tools:

• Marketing - You can connect with a national community of supporters and active, civic-minded teens
• Verification – You can easily and quickly verify hours for your teen volunteers
• Tracking - You can search and track the teens that are affiliated with your organization
• Donations - You can receive donations through GivingPoint’s teen project sites or through the GivingPoint grant system
• Incentives – You can give Points and send encouraging messages to your best and most active teen volunteers

At GivingPoint, we are about supporting and helping teens get involved in causes they care about. While we want to help nonprofits engage and motivate their teen volunteers, we are not just a tracking mechanism or fundraising vehicle. We have a unique platform for teens to demonstrate their civic footprint, and we hope nonprofits will embrace our model to hep create an energized group of life-long givers.

Here's what we hope to receive from our nonprofit parters:

• Collaboration - use our platform to attract and motivate teens interested in your cause. Give them GivingPoints. Send them encouraging messages.
• Partnership - take the time to verify the hours that teens spend volunteering at your organization. When you get the emails asking for verification of a teen contribution, please respond.
• Teamwork - create fun volunteer opportunities for them and invite them to your projects. Post your projects on GivingPoint and upload pictures.
• Alliances - offer content and quiz ideas for GivingPoint's Causes section. We would like to highlight your program on one of our education modules!
• Cooperation - put a GivingPoint link on your website so teens can learn about our program.
• Relationship - we want your feedback, advice and counsel. We have a common purpose: create a better world! So let's work together!
