This training module introduces Nominations in Bonterra CyberGrants — a feature that allows users to suggest organizations that don’t appear in standard search results. Sometimes a nonprofit may be missing because it’s new, has a different legal name, or isn’t yet listed in the tax feed. Nominations give you the opportunity to recommend that organization for review so you can support the causes that matter most to you, even if they aren’t already in the system.
The video walks through the step-by-step process for nominating an organization, starting with performing a thorough search by name or using Advanced Search options such as charity IDs. If the organization still doesn’t appear, you can follow the link in the Search Tips to submit a nomination and provide the required details. Once submitted, you can track progress in the My Nominations portlet — where Pending, Approved, and Rejected statuses indicate where your request stands. This helps you understand when your nomination is under review, accepted, or declined based on company policy. To learn more about how nominations are reviewed or how to make the most of giving features, visit the CyberGrants Help Center or explore related learning resources in Bonterra Academy.
