What are cause categories?

From Environment and Creation Care to Mental Health and Wellbeing, we connect our givers with your cause to maximise support and invite generosity to resource your work.

You can choose up to three categories under which your organisation would like to feature. These will be used as identifiers in our Partner Search (currently under development) to bring organisations to the attention of givers. If categories have been automatically assigned, these can be edited manually within your Partner Account settings. Cause categories are a ranking factor in Stewardship’s search so do make sure you have assigned your organisation at least one.
