Please note these are simply guidelines to improve the presentation and organization of the charity or organization you add. Perhaps the most important thing to keep in mind is using the correct spelling for your entry!

How to Add a Charity or Organization to ECP
First, using the search box, check to see if the charity or organization is not already on ECP (make sure you search with the correct spelling). It is also a good idea to look through our List of Charities and our List of Organizations to insure that the charity or organization is not already listed under a slightly different name.
Once you've concluded that the charity/organization is not there enter the charity or organization name into the search box, then press search. It will say the article is not listed would you like to create the article?
To simplify your task, we have generated a basic template for charities and organizations. If you would like to deviate from that template we welcome change... But make sure you properly categorize your article.
Section 1: Basic Information About Charity/Organization
Include a paragraph, or more, on what the charity/organization does and it's mandate. For instance:
Quest Outreach Society's mandate is to rescue food from being sent to the landfills and redistribute it to those in need. In its 2004/2005 fiscal year, Quest Outreach Society rescued 7.15 million dollars worth of food, and helped over 45,000 people per month on average throughout the Lower Mainland. Quest's current membership is comprised of 6,250 donors, 235 food suppliers, 596 volunteers, (contributing over 19,512 hours of time) and 72 social service agency programs.
Feel free to give more information than that though!
Section 2: Website url and Email
The header of the section is denoted by: ==, anything in that has == on either side will be a section. Therefor, we enclose Website Address & E-mail with == on either side. Following this you enter the website url, including "http://" followed by a space and the name of the charity or organization. Links are enclosed in single brackets. The * (Asterisk), is used to signify a bulleted list. The email is enclosed in square brackets and must include "mailto:" right before the email address: one space after the email address put "Email for put_charity_name_here".
==Website Address & E-mail==

Section 4: Charity Status and Categories
If you're entering a charity you will need the state that it is a registered charity. If it is not simply say: "name_of_organization is not a registered charity". If it is a charity though on the next line please include the charity registration number, which you can get from The Canada Revenue Website (Click on the search link and enter your charity).
Making sure your entry is in the correct set of categories if very important. The first category refers to the city/town that your charity is based in. The next category is the province and the final category is either "Chartiy" or "Organization" depending on whether you are entering a registered charity or not.
