Using GivingPoint's Tools and Resources

Once you are done creating an account, you will have your own profile portal. You can immediately begin to use GivingPoint to track and reward your student volunteers. You can also verify hours and post projects.

Here's how it works:

VERIFY HOURS - you can enter or search a student's name (or names) that have accounts and are affiliated with your school. You can enter their volunteer contributions to verify their hours.

SERVICE TAGS – you can enter or search a student's name (or names) that have accounts and are affiliated with your school to give them "service tags". Service Tags are points that you can give your teen volunteers for going above and beyond in their community service. To learn more about giving service tags, please visit: http://www.mygivingpoint.org/reward/earn-service-tags.

MY PROJECTS – you can enter a community project to raise awareness, volunteers and funds. To learn more about posting projects for your school, please visit http://www.mygivingpoint.org/learn-more-about-projects.

AFFILIATED GIVINGPOINTERS – you can view the list of teens using GivingPoint that are affiliated with your school. You can view their total Giving Points, volunteer hours and profiles.

INVITE GIVINGPOINTERS – you can invite teens, schools and nonprofits to join GivingPoint. This feature allows you to quickly and easily send out mass emails from your contact lists.

MY PHOTOS – you can upload photos. Photos are a great way to showcase your school's involvement in the community.

MANAGE MY PROFILE/ACCOUNT – you can change your contact information and password.
