Why am I not receiving my daily email alerts?

There are a few reasons why you may not be receiving daily updates.

1. No new listings match your search criteria; this includes the spelling or inclusion of a city name—only exact matches will be sent to you.
   
2. It is the weekend. Email alerts are only sent out Monday through Friday.
   
3. Your registration did not process. To check this, log in to your Member account from the homepage . You should see a tab that says “Email Alerts.” Underneath there should be a description of your email preferences with Edit, Delete and Turn Off. If you do not see any of these click “Add an Email alerts profile”
   
4. Idealist sends out thousands of emails each day to individuals who have requested information on newly posted opportunities, but sometimes our email gets labeled in the unsolicited category by the filters. If you think that our emails are being blocked from your address, or if you have suddenly stopped receiving our emails, we suggest the following remedies:
   
5. Contact your email or Internet Service Provider and request that all "@ idealist.org" email be routed to your "IN" box, instead of your junk/bulk/spam folder.
   
6. Make sure to add "idealist@ idealist.org" to your address/contact/safe list. Our daily email alerts will always come from this address.
   
7. If you have chosen to have all filtered spam mail automatically deleted before you see it, you may want to change that setting and then check your junk/bulk/spam folder. Then, designate that all "@ idealist.org" emails not be classified as spam.
