Rounds now has organisations - Product News

Rounds is the community app, separate from Backed's grant management, so this has no Help Centre article.

What's new

• Organisations. Organisations, in your account menu, lists the grant makers and applicant organisations on Rounds. Anyone can search it by name and kind, and open an organisation's page.
• Create an organisation. Create an organisation makes you its owner. An applicant organisation can start from one of your Backed organisation profiles. Only the profile's name is copied, and its answers stay private.
• Claim a funder. A funder's page in the grants directory now shows On Rounds with a link to the organisation that speaks for it. If no organisation speaks for it yet, the page shows Claim this funder. A grant maker's page on Rounds lists that funder's grants, and shows On Backed when the funder runs its rounds on Backed.
• Verified. If your email address is at the organisation's website domain, your claim is approved at once. Otherwise give its ABN or NZBN and our team checks it. A verified organisation shows Verified and says how it was verified, and its country and business number are fixed. Your claims are listed on Organisations while they wait, and you can withdraw a waiting claim.
• People. An organisation's owners and editors can edit its page. Owners can use Manage people to add a member by their Rounds handle, change a role or remove someone. Anyone can leave an organisation, but an organisation always keeps at least one owner.
• On your profile. Your profile shows the organisations you act for under Acts for.
• Post as. When you act for a verified organisation, the post composer offers Post as. A post made as an organisation shows the organisation's name and who posted it.
• For our team. Organisation claims in the account menu lists claims waiting for a business-number check, to approve or reject with a reason.
