The Giving Common Trainings

We are excited to work with your organization on your profile.  Training is optional but we've found that organizations that complete training tend to be able to complete their profile faster after they leave training.  
 
You can also request a profile to get started on your own by visiting http://givingcommon.guidestar.org/CustomPage13.aspx and following the simple steps.  Our team is here to help you throughout the entire process with phone and email support.
 
Help us spread the word.  Please let your nonprofit colleagues know about the Giving Common.

Training FAQs
 
What will I learn?  What is the goal of training?

Staff will be available to reply to one-on-one questions and help you with your profile.

After training, you will know how to input materials, understand the tips and tricks of getting information into the system, and have confidence in entering information.

Training is optional.  We are available for one-on-one trainings as well if you need additional support or do not find a time that works for you.

 

Who can attend a training?  Who should attend training?

In order to attend a training, you must represent a qualified 501 (c)(3) nonprofit public charity.  Most nonprofits send the person who completes online grant applications to trainings as this person usually has the majority of the information needed. 
 

What should I bring?

There is no need to bring anything to the training.  Prior to training we will create a username and password for you.

 

Who should I contact with questions?

If you have questions, please feel free to contact the Giving Common team at GivingCommon@tbf.org or (617)338-1624.
