Organization Location

Which organization location should I choose?

Choose your primary location where your organization is headquartered or where most of your work happens.

If one of your locations is in a Stripe-supported country, choose that location to receive funds more easily.

What about project locations?

Projects do not have to take place in the same location as your organization. If you're stewarding land in multiple places, you'll specify that in your project profile.

Example:

• Organization location: Nairobi, Kenya (your office/headquarters)
• Project location: Kilifi County, Kenya (where the actual restoration work happens)

Each project you create can have its own location, so you can apply for funding for work in different areas over time.

What if I can't find my organization location?

If you can't find your organization location by entering a street address, you can also provide the latitude and longitude coordinates.

Coordinates work everywhere in the world, even in places without formal street addresses.

Finding your coordinates

Option 1: Google Maps (easiest)

1. Open Google Maps
2. Find your location on the map
3. Right-click (or long-press on mobile) on the exact spot
4. Select "Copy coordinates" or see coordinates at top of pop-up
5. Paste into Ma Earth

Format you'll see: 40.7128, -74.0060 (latitude, longitude)

Option 2: Your Phone's GPS

iPhone:

1. Open Apple Maps or Google Maps
2. Drop a pin at your location
3. Coordinates appear at bottom of screen

Android:

1. Open Google Maps
2. Long-press your location
3. Coordinates appear at top of screen

Option 3: GPS Device

If you work in the field with a GPS device, you can use coordinates directly from your readings.

Can I hide my organization's exact location?

You have control over how your location appears publicly.

Location Options

• Exact coordinates: Best for projects where sharing your precise location publicly doesn't pose security risks.
• Approximate location: Shows general area without revealing exact site. Good for projects that do not wish to reveal their exact location due to security or privacy concerns.

How it works

During organization profile setup, you'll input your location (using your project’s GPS coordinates or address), then choose how your location will display publicly.

Private information stays private.

Even when your project is public, sensitive location data remains protected. You decide your public location settings.
