Organizations

You may want to consider submitting sites to the appropriate Society/Issues category (e.g. Society/Issues/...) if the site isn''t for an organization. If the organization is religious then it should be submitted to Society/Philanthropy/Organizations/Religious/ instead. It is considered acceptable for a site to appear in the directory twice - once in/under a topical category (like Society/Philanthropy/Organizations/) and once in the appropriate Regional/ category where the organization is based.

Social Enterprise

Social enterprise refers to income-producing business ventures whose ultimate purpose is to support a social purpose, rather than to make money.

Submit only sites that are focused primarily on the topic of social enterprise.
Do not submit sites about individual social enterprise ventures here. Instead, submit them to a category appropriate for the type of business they are.

Volunteering

This category is devoted to resources for volunteers and volunteer management - the knowledge, skill, and resources that make up the profession of volunteer program management. These links provide access to the most useful general web sites for effective volunteerism and volunteer development and management.

Websites offering general volunteer opportunities should be submitted in Opportunities.
Websites offering volunteer opportunities specific to a locality should be submitted in the category for that community.
Thank you for your help.
