> This is the Markdown of a Backed Help Centre page, https://admin.backed.giving/help/administrator/organisation/checklist-organisation.md. Every page is listed at https://admin.backed.giving/help/llms.txt.

> This page uses Backed's default terms, such as Funding Round and Application Template. An organisation may rename them, so read each as your organisation's own term if you've renamed it.

Ready for your organisation to go live?

Ensure you've double checked the following:

1. Check your organisation's details and settings: on `Settings > Profile and terms` select `Edit Details`.
2. Add your brand: upload a `Logo` and set your colours, so your portals, sign-in pages and emails look like your organisation.
3. Decide whether applicants see a support footer: turn on `Show the support footer` and fill in its text and email address.
4. Check the words your organisation uses on the `Terms` tab of `Settings > Profile and terms > Terminology`.
5. Decide whether to `Require two-factor authentication` under `Settings > Security`, and for whom.
6. Decide how people join: whether `Anyone with the organisation link can join`, and what joining asks, under `Settings > Joining`.
7. Create the funding categories your grants are grouped by: `New Category` under `Settings > Funding categories`.
8. Choose who is told when an email cannot be delivered, under `Undelivered messages` on `Communicate > Email templates`.


`Funding Category` is your organisation's own term if you've renamed it.
