Account and notifications

An account keeps your commitments, memberships, alerts, and preferences together.

Create an account​

Open Sign in, switch to Create account, and register with an email address and password, or continue with Google. With email registration, open the verification link sent to your inbox before signing in.

Your display name is visible to initiative coordinators and on appropriate platform surfaces. You may use a nickname if you do not want to use your legal name.

Account settings​

From Account, you can manage:

  • your display name and language;
  • automatic or overridden time zone;
  • a default city or town for nearby search;
  • email notification types;
  • browser push notifications;
  • saved Givelist searches;
  • initiative memberships and pending admin offers.

Choose notifications​

Available preferences include mission-expiry reminders, handover confirmations, Givelist matches, initiative status changes, and new membership requests when you coordinate an initiative. Browser push is per device and requires browser permission.

Operational messages needed to complete or cancel an active commitment may still be sent even when optional notification preferences are reduced.

Password recovery​

Use Forgot password? on the sign-in page. For privacy, the confirmation looks the same whether or not an account exists for the address. Reset links expire and can only be used once.

Delete your account​

Account settings include permanent deletion of your account and personal data. You must type your account email to confirm. If you are the sole administrator of an initiative, first transfer responsibility to another person or archive the initiative; otherwise the organisation would be left without a responsible administrator.
