Q: By registering, am I committing to using the software?
A: There is no commitment to using Charity Republic. We offer 2 month free trials and organizations can choose to continue and pay month-to-month or on an annual basis after their trial is complete. Otherwise, organizations can discontinue use of the software after their trial. Note: We do not require credit card information in order for organizations to register for a free trial.
Q: What privacy and security measures does Charity Republic have in place
A: Charity Republic does not sell user data or advertise to users. We have an SSL certificate and our data is stored on a secure server. Note, we work with over 35 school boards and universities and we’ve been through multiple security reviews to ensure we meet privacy and security requirements.
Here are our User and Privacy agreements.
Q: Who qualifies as a grassroots organization?
A: Grassroots organizations receive our software for free for one year (after which the organization may qualify again). There are several types of grassroots organizations and the qualifications include:
- Organizations that are completely volunteer driven
- Organizations that have limited financial resources (less than $100K annually)
- Organizations that are just starting out, like a “startup” charity
Note: We determine eligibility on a case-by-case basis.
Q: What is PREB-Ontario and how is it integrated with Charity Republic
A: Charities and non-profits can recognize volunteers for the skills they demonstrated while volunteering by creating PREB-Ontario certificates. These certificates outline tasks and activities in detail, based upon the National Occupation Classification, and also detail key aspects of a volunteer’s experience, such as hours of volunteering completed, activities performed, special achievements, training obtained and special comments by supervisors. PREB-Ontario is administered by the Ontario Volunteer Centre Network part of the Volunteer Legacy initiative from the Pan/Parapan Am Games and has been made possible through funding support from the Government of Ontario.
