It's free to sign up, search for opportunities, connect with others, create a page for your organization, and post events, volunteer opportunities, internships, programs, and resources.

We do charge U.S.-based organizations $70 for each job posted, but be sure to check out Job Packs for reduced rates.

These are the types of organizations that we welcome on Idealist:

• Nonprofit and community organizations (including NGOs, community groups, schools and universities, high school and college clubs, unions, foundations, and campaigns)
• Government agencies (including museums, libraries, parks and recreation departments, environmental protection agencies, social services, schools and universities, and community service programs)
• Businesses (social enterprises, consultants to nonprofits, and organizations such as hospices that are required to have volunteer programs): click here for more about which businesses are eligible.

We currently do not allow personal web pages/projects, organizations or schools still in the planning stages (i.e. charter schools awaiting their charter), for-profit schools, microfinance organizations, or military or intelligence groups to create pages on Idealist.

To become an administrator of your organization's page, you'll first need to log in or sign up as an individual. Then, search for your organization from the search bar, go to your organization's page, and click on the blue "Become an administrator" button on the right side of the page. You'll have the option to send a request to your page's existing administrators or to let us know if the listed administrators are no longer with your organization, in which case we can approve you as an administrator internally.

To get started, click "Post A Listing" at the top of the page and choose the type of listing you wish to post. If you are the admin of multiple organizations, you can choose which org you're posting on behalf of.

When filling out the necessary information, remember that you can always save it and come back to it later, or click "Publish" if you're ready to make it public.

If you'd like to post on behalf of your organization and your organization isn't on Idealist yet, click here.

Log in and click on the name of your organization at the top of the page. If you are an administrator of more than one organization, your other organizations will be listed on the drop-down menu that appears. Click on "See All" next to your Inactive Listings, and your listings will appear in reverse chronological order. Then click on the name of the listing you'd like to repost. You should see a link on the left side of the screen to "Use as template." Make sure to fill in the location field. When you are happy with your listing, click on "Publish" at the bottom of the page.

Start by logging in and clicking on the name of your organization at the top of the page. If you are an administrator of more than one organization, you will find all of your organizations in the drop-down menu that appears. On your organization profile, click on "See all" under your organization's listings.

Click on the name of your listing.

If you'd like to edit your listing, click on the blue "Edit" button on the right side of the page. Make the necessary changes, then click Save.

If you'd like to hide or delete your listing, click on "Remove" in the Admin Tools section on the left. You will be given the option to hide or to delete your listing. If you choose to hide your listing, you will be able to reactivate it at a later time; if you delete your listing, you will not be able to retrieve it later.

We can't personally find an opportunity for you—after all, we have hundreds of thousands of members! So you're going to have to do a little bit of work yourself. But we've tried to make that as easy as possible with our tools for searching and bookmarking, as well as Email Alerts and saved searches.

To start searching, enter a keyword or multiple keywords into the Search bar on the top of the page. Then use the categories on the left to browse the organizations and the listings they have posted (jobs, volunteer opportunities, internships, events, programs, and resources). Click here for more search tips.

Also, be sure to take a look at the resources that Idealist offers to those looking for a job, internship, or volunteer opportunity.

Good luck in your search!

On the results page, you'll be able to edit your keywords and the search that you originally ran. Change the search criteria as you'd like. Once you're satisfied with the new search results, save the search by clicking on the green Get Email Alert button to receive daily emails. Please note, this will create a new Email Alert.

To remove the original email alert, hover over your name in the top right corner, and click on "My Searches." Click "Delete" next to the old saved search.

To remove an email alert:

Log in and hover over your name in the top right corner. Select "My Searches" from the drop down menu. Click on "Turn off this email alert" next to the alert you'd like to stop receiving. Once it's turned off, you'll see the option to turn it back on if you'd like to do so later. You can also simply delete the alert, which will also remove the saved search.

We aren't a grantmaking organization, so unfortunately, we can't help you directly. However, we recommend that you use Idealist.org to search for and connect with organizations that might be interested in partnering with you or supporting your work.
