How to register as a for-profit advertiser

Tutorial type: PDF

Here's a step-by-step tutorial for getting registered as a for-profit advertiser to create job, volunteer and event listings on CharityVillage.com.

Before you begin....

Important: Before you register as a for-profit organization, please carefully check our eligibility guidelines. CharityVillage.com is a niche website for Canada's nonprofit sector. We aren't a general job board. We don't want you to waste time registering if you aren't eligible to use our services.

If you want to advertise your company's products or services with banner or e-letter ads, you don't need to register here. Please visit our Supplier Advertising section for information about how to advertise your products or services.

If you think that you are eligible to advertise and want to create job, volunteer or event listings, please follow the rest of these steps.

Get started from Main St.

 

From Main Street, click the "To Advertise Jobs" link in the "Register" section.

Once you're registered, you'll be able to:
- Create job, volunteer, and event listings
- Manage your e-letter subscriptions
- Save searches and listings
- Track your order history

Organization Type

1. Make sure if you're eligible to advertise here. Click the question icon.

2. Check the "For-profit / Consultant" button.

About Your Organization

Yep, this is a big step. It's also an important one. As mentioned earlier, we're a niche website and need to make sure that your company is a fit with our eligibility guidelines. Your responses to these questions help us assess your eligibility to advertise here. We keep your responses strictly confidential.

Please complete all of the fields:

1. Organization Name: your company name

2. Organization Focus: what's your main line of business?

3. Enter your website address if you have one.

5. Products / Services: Briefly tell us about the products and services that you offer.

6. Approximately what percentage of your clients are nonprofit organizations?

7. Approximately what percentage of your revenue is from nonprofit organizations?

8. Associations: What, if any, associations does your company belong to?

9. Two references: Please share contact information for two of your nonprofit clients. We'll follow up with them to make sure that you're a fit to advertise on our site.

10. Click "Next" (pfew -- that was a long one!)

Password

Your username will be your email address when you login.

1. Enter a password in the "Password" field and enter it again in the "Confirm Password" field.
