Let’s return to the Dashboard to finalize the remaining tasks on the Hub ToDos list. The next step is to generate your website. Mission statement and Contact Information Click on the sub-tasks, you will be taken to the setting, where you can add the content for your site: mission statement and basic contact info, that will show on your generated website. Once you are done, just click on the update button. Now, if you go back to your dashboard, you will see that not only are all the tasks in your Hub ToDos marked as done, but your newly generated website is also in the Quick Links section.

Here, create a customized form that new candidates will be asked to fill out when signing up to join your organization. As you can see, there are three default fields: name, last name, and email address. These can not be changed or removed. To add more questions, choose “Add more fields” You will see two new fields: “Label” and “Field type”. Label is what you want to ask: location, profession, gender, additional email address,etc. Field type gives options for the response: Text lets candidates type what they want. Options provide a few default choices. The email field is for email addresses. Let’s add three different questions, one of each type. First of all, let’s ask about the candidate’s location. As there are many possibilities, we may want to have a text field type here, so that each candidate can type their real location, without any limitations. In this case, type “Location” as the label and select text in the field type. Then click “Add more fields” to continue. As another example, let’s ask about the candidate’s profession. Say, we are only interested in candidates who are specialized in one of three fields: tech, education, or administration. When selecting field type options, a new window will appear where you can add the available options. These options should be separated by commas. For example, you could enter: tech, education, administration. As a third example, if you wish to request an additional email address, select the field type email to ensure it’s provided in the correct format. After adding all the necessary questions, save them by clicking on “Update.” Returning to the Dashboard, you’ll find another sub-task marked as completed. Moreover, the signup page will be automatically generated, with a convenient link accessible under “Quick Links.”

Generate a Donation Page Next on the Hub To-Dos list is creating a donation page link. To achieve this, your only task is to set up a Stripe account, enabling you to receive payments seamlessly. To setup a Stripe Account, to start, click on the Setup Stripe Account sub-task. You will be redirected to the Stripe website, where you can complete your registration. Provide the same email address you used to register your organization in Good Work Hub and click submit. Enter your password in the new field, then click “Submit” again to proceed. You will be asked to set up two-step authentication for security reasons. As per the instructions, download the Google Authenticator app. Within the app, scan the QR code provided by Stripe. Next, click on “send verification link”, then go to inbox and find the email from Stripe. Open it and click on “Verify me.” Go back to the Google Authenticator app and check the code. Enter your information on the Stripe website, then wait a moment. Stripe will now generate an emergency backup code for your account. Copy the code provided and store it securely. Once finished, proceed by clicking “Next.” You will now be asked a series of questions regarding your organization. First, you will be asked to select the location and type of business. Select accordingly and click “Continue.” Continue filling out all the required fields on the following pages. Click “Continue” after completing each page. After completing all the necessary steps, you’ll be asked to review the provided information. If everything appears correct, click on “Agree and Submit” to proceed. You’ll now be redirected back to the Good Work Hub. In your Hub ToDos, you’ll notice that your Stripe Account is currently undergoing verification.

Create Teams Start by clicking on the “Teams” option located in the navigation panel on the left side of the screen. You will be taken to the Teams section of Good Work Hub.

When you select the link, you’ll be prompted to choose a registration form. This form can be either a default one or a custom form created in the “Forms” section. This enables you to collect specific information from people who register, such as their name and email address. Once you mark an event as external, there will also be an option to mark it as paid, meaning that users will need to pay to register. If you mark an event as paid, there will be a new field where you can type the price per person. Note that in order to create a paid event, you must complete the Stripe Account registration first. Repeat – you have the option to specify whether the event is a one-time occurrence or if it will repeat regularly, with choices including daily, weekly, monthly, and more.
