The Difference Between Organization and Project Profiles

What's the difference between an organization profile and a project profile?

To summarize: Organization = Who you are. Project = What you're doing

Your organization profile

Your organization profile represents your group:

• Who you are (name, description, mission)
• Where you're located
• Your team
• Your legal structure

Think of this as your permanent identity on the platform. Over the years, you might run several campaigns for different projects under the same organization.

Your project profile

Your project profile represents the specific work you're seeking funding for at this time:

• Specific goals and timeline
• What you'll accomplish with this funding
• Measurable outcomes
• Approximate timeline

Projects are time-bound. Organizations are ongoing.

One organization, many projects

You create one organization profile. You might create multiple projects over time as you apply to different funding rounds.
