Once available, these services can greatly improve your data gathering and fundraising campaigns.
- Will the content I provide be censored by your team?
We trust that non-profit organizations such as yours will exercise discretion in deciding on which videos, articles, pictures and other content to post. As such, we will not censor any content in your web page or website unless we receive a formal complaint.
In respect of intellectual property rights, please make sure that there are no copyright infringements in the content that you post.
- Who can we contact for technical assistance?
You may email us at webmaster@reconnect.org.ph for any concerns. The Reconnect team will get back to you as soon as possible.
- Will my page or website be inactive if I don’t get to update it regularly?
No. Aside from being unable to keep your supporters or potential donors up to date with the latest news about your cause, no major changes should occur if you fail to update your web page or website.
- How often should I update my web page or website?
Your organization decides on how often you want to update the content on your website.
- Would I be informed whenever someone donates?
Yes. You will receive an email from Reconnect informing you of the donation. That’s why it’s important that you provide a valid email address in the sign up form. All communications from Reconnect will be directed to your email address.
- Would I have the profile or information on a donor?
We will give you access to the profile / information on your donors, unless they request for anonymity. We also respect donors’ private information.
- Can I access the names of donors to other organizations?
No. Organizations can only access the information of individuals who have donated to them. However, if an individual makes a donation to your project and to another organization’s project, both of you will have access to the donor information.
- Will other organizations find out how much funds we have raised?
You have the option to share that information.
