> This is the Markdown of a Backed Help Centre page, https://admin.backed.giving/help/news/2026/2026-11-08-rounds-organisations.md. Every page is listed at https://admin.backed.giving/help/llms.txt.

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.
